THE 2009 Hattah Desert Race is fast approaching and is shaping up to be bigger and better, according to organisers.
Entries are already up for the North West Victorian Motorcycle Club’s event, on the first weekend in July, and they include some of Australia’s top Enduro riders.
Four times world enduro rider Stefan Merriman is entered in the ironman class.
Merriman, who will be riding a Yamaha at Hattah, is keen to tackle the terrain in the sunset country.
Last year the event was won by Warren Smart, notching up a record fifth enduro win for the local rider.
