Vale - Arthur Hayward 1925 - 2012
24 September 2012
It is with sadness the off road community learned today of the recent passing of off road legend Arthur Hayward.
Arthur Hayward introduced the concept of off road racing here in Tasmania and was a founding member of the Tasmanian Off Road Car Club 41 years ago and our signature event the Tas Sand Enduro at Peron Dunes which is about to be run for the 40th time in November.
Arthur's legacy lives on, with three clubs statewide, dozens of off road events per year across sand and dirt tracks, a State Series and the hundreds of people that have been involved at so many levels in the Tasmanian off road community- all as a result of Arthur's vision.
Our thoughts are with his family his wife Jean and his daughter Karen & son in law Alex.
The service is expected to be this Friday in Launceston ( see notice in Examiner in coming days)
