2011 has been a season to remember for the Hutchesson twins Max & Sam, dominating the sidecar class from round 3. Equalling Nick Throup's solo result, they too won five out of the seven rounds finishing 47 points ahead of their nearest rivals in the Sidecar Class.
"Round 1 was a good opener to the season for us as we had a good ride with no machine problems" said Sam, "we took a couple of big tumbles but no serious injuries and the course was fantastic."
The Mike Connors Trial at Sedan was the second round of the season and the twins had a trouble free ride with no machine problems again, but Sam explained they struggled to get a good rhythm resulting in a few crashes which cost them time. This gave them a 2nd in Clubman & 4th outright.
In round 3, the Robertstown 2-day, they were going quite well, but a crash on the 1st lap on day one resulted in Max hurting his shoulder. Sam says "we got through the day ok, but, getting up on Sunday saw Max in a lot of pain. We decided to carry on and see how he went, and after a few paddocks he was feeling ok." It all came together on day 2 and they managed to keep on the pace resulting with 1st Clubman & 1st Outright.
Sam said, "the 24hr Trial was awesome, great course, great event. We had an incident free ride for once and the KTM ran like a gem. Once we got through the rain on the 2nd lap all things were go. A quick 3rd lap was an advantage as we got bogged on the last lap and lost a fair bit of time, but managed to hang on to win the event. Rounds 5 (Mallala), 6 (Mannum), and 7 (Clare) all went well, some great terrain at Clare and a well run event."
