Weymouth Wildcats – Press Release

David Mason is confident that the Wildcats can add to the contents of their trophy cabinet this season after signing his contract for 2007. He was in Weymouth visiting potential sponsors with Influx Marketing’s Paul Oughton this week and has high hopes for this season. David who hails from Eastbourne said “This year’s team is starting to take shape and looks to be an exciting prospect. It hasn’t been an easy task for Phil to try and build a competitive team as there seems to be plenty of reserve and top end riders but not much available in between”. He added “Although Plymouth and Scunthorpe seem to be the names on everybody’s lips for the League this season, with Scunthorpe having several team members doubling up it is by no means a two horse race and I believe we are in with a shout of getting our hands on some silverware”.

Whilst on his visit to Weymouth, David dropped into the Wessex Stadium and cast his expert eye over the improvements being made at the track. “Weymouth’s track has been a topic of discussion over the last couple of years but the hard work that has gone into it over the winter seems to be paying off already, the drainage his been severely tested over the last couple of days and looks to be doing its job”.

David will be hoping 2007 starts better than 2006 ended. Harley, David’s 2 year old son was rushed into hospital over Christmas with breathing difficulties which then developed into pneumonia. “He has made a full recovery now but it was a very distressing time for all of us, thankfully he is back to his usual self running me ragged!”

Jem Dicken, Wildcats Team Manager is delighted to have David back on board. “He is a mentor to many of the younger riders in the team and Pete, David’s father and mechanic is never far away when it comes to helping out in the pits”. Jem also added “We will be signing more team members over the next couple of weeks and we believe the supporters will be thrilled with the riders that we have secured for 2007”.
