WEYMOUTH Wildcats' star David Mason admits he is considering taking a break from racing to become young gun Lewis Bridger's chief mechanic this season. Eastbourne boss Martin Hagon has turned to the 31-year-old for help, in a bid to help one of British speedway's brightest shooting stars reach the next level. The former Wildcat benefited from Mason's advice at the Wessex Stadium in 2005 and impressed enough to earn an Elite League team spot after just a year of Conference racing. But Mason and Bridger's reunion is not a done deal, as the former Weymouth captain is still pondering a return to the Wessex Stadium. And he is reluctant to rush into making one of the most important choices of his speedway career.
