2026 SSWA Hall of Fame Inductee – Ian Beard
Speedway Sedans Western Australia is proud to announce the fourth inductee into the 2026 SSWA Hall of Fame – Ian Beard.
For more than 30 years, Ian was one of the most respected and dedicated officials in Western Australian Speedway Sedans.
As a scrutineer, he officiated at more than 80 WA State Titles and numerous National Titles, travelling thousands of kilometres from Geraldton to ensure competitors could race safely and fairly.
His commitment to the sport was legendary, with his familiar green ute often the first to arrive at a title and the last to leave after every piece of equipment had been packed away.
Ian's remarkable service has already been recognised through the Ian Beard Best Presented Car Award, presented at every SSWA State Title. His selfless dedication, professionalism and unwavering commitment to Speedway Sedans have left a lasting legacy, making him a truly deserving inductee into the SSWA Hall of Fame.
Ian Beard is the fourth name to be announced as part of the 2026 SSWA Hall of Fame class, and will officially be inducted on Saturday the 12th of September, 2026, so to be part of the celebrations, make sure you purchase your tickets at www.trybooking.com/DOHZL
