(Vaughan, ON, February 24, 2010)

Things unfolded nicely with a Pro Open win for Team Monster Energy-Yamaha-OTSFF Racing’s Iain Hayden at the ISOC Amsoil® Snocross Championship Series Quick Draw Canadian Nationals in Sarnia, Ontario this past weekend. In addition to campaigning the Quick Draw National, which counts towards the CSRA Canadian National Championship, Hayden also rode Round 7 of the ISOC National Series. Despite some problems with his goggles, he still pulled a noteworthy top-10 finish out of his sleeve in that division.
“It was another banner weekend for us with Iain getting lots of track time and the resultant television exposure,” said team owner/manager Andre Laurin. “His win in the Quick Draw ISOC Canadian National and top 10 in the ISOC National put the icing on the cake.”  Thanks to the city of Sarnia, which trucked in tons of snow to Hiawatha Horsepark so the races could proceed as scheduled, the ISOC event offered up top-notch competition that saw American, European and Canadian riders vie for podium finishes at the US/Canadian border town.

It was an off weekend for Monster Energy/Yamaha USA/OTSFF Racing’s Iain Hayden at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado, which were held on January 28-31.

Although everything went well for Hayden during practice and dialling in his 4-stroke Yamaha FX Nytro®, things went far less favourably in the qualifying heats.

In the first heat, Hayden got a terrible start that left him at the back of the pack in a field of 12 riders. Anxious to make up time as quickly as possible, he aggressively worked his way towards the front. Hayden was making nice headway but on the third lap, while passing another rider on the outside, he caught his ski on an ice edge and was pitched off his sled.
