As most people rugged up to brave the first cold long weekend of the winter season, Chris Hallett from Boyes Equipment Svs prepared for a three day Moto X event, camping and hitting the dirt tracks at the Manjimup 15000.
It’s no surprise that after 14 years as a Workshop Foreman, Chris enjoys his weekends spent with family, friends and more machinery – a 2017.5 KTM 450 SX factory edition to be specific.
Over the past 10 to 11 years, the competitive Moto X rider has competed in over 40+ competitions across the state which included events like the Finke Desert Race, with this year’s focus on the Manjimup 15000, the largest Moto X event in Western Australia.
The weekend’s event pulled some of the bigger names from the east coast such as Kirk Gibbs and Dean Ferris to the track, located 300kms south of Perth.
The event ran from Friday June 1st to Sunday June 3rd, with Junior, Senior, women and Veteran riders entering into the two-day racing event.
Chris competed in the MX Nationals Veteran Championship level against 30+ other competitors, having placed 20th, 19th, 19th, 18th – Chris was able to average out his times to come home 20nd overall for the two days of racing.
The weekend’s event had over 600 riders ranging across all divisions.
We asked Chris what his next venture in racing would be, and he said he’ll be focussing on the Kalgoorlie and Esperance Club rounds from here on, expecting to take part in Bunbury state round in July, King of the Cross (Southern Cross) later in the year and then to finish off at the Wanneroo state round.
