Speedway temporarily returned to Weymouth last night. Some of the country's top young riders held a series of practise laps at the Wessex Stadium, the first racing at the track since last year. The event allowed prospective Wildcats boss Phil Bartlett the chance to take noise readings which will form part of a new planning application expected to be submitted to West Dorset District Council next month.

Speedway engines will be revving up in Weymouth tomorrow night. A series of practise laps are being held at the Wessex Stadium featuring some of the country's top young riders. The event has been organised to allow prospective Wildcats boss Phil Bartlett the opportunity to take noise readings, which will form part of a new planning application due to be submitted to west Dorset District Council next month.

Weymouth Wildcats are back on track tonight, albeit with a brand new identity. The resort's speedway club travels to Oak Tree Arena to take on Somerset Rebels Academy in a four man challenge match. Because of contractual wrangles between former promoter Brian White and prospective owner Phil Bartlett, the team cannot be billed as Weymouth Wildcats and instead will be known as the Wessex Wizards.

Former promoter Brian White has blocked plans for Weymouth to ride in a speedway challenge match at Somerset on Friday night. Prospective owner Phil Bartlett had hoped to take a Wildcats side to the Oak Tree Arena for a four-man clash with the Rebels Academy after Somerset's Premier Trophy fixture with Isle of Wight.

Meeting will go ahead see 'Full Story' for details
