Weymouth Speedway
celebrates its 100th meeting since its
revival in 2003 this Saturday! What
better way to mark the occasion than
by hosting the prestigious Conference
League Best Pairs sponsored by Auto
Marine of Poole.
The line up boasts the crème de la crème
of the Conference League and promises
to be possibly one of the most evenly
contested encounters in the recent history
of the competition. Wildcats Chairman,
Phil Bartlett, is looking forward to
the event which is one of the most significant
in Weymouth Speedways history and is
hoping for victory from the Radipole
Lane based riders. He said “Weymouth
have a great chance of taking the spoils
with Jon Armstrong and Jay Herne but,
there are some exciting riders in the
line-up and anything can happen, and
usually does, in these meetings.”
Last years winners – Boston will be
hoping retain their title and with the
pairing of Simon Lambert and Jamie Smith,
who are both currently riding in the
Premier League, they will be though
to beat. Plymouth duo - Kyle Hughes
and Paul Starke have had plenty of opportunity
this season to get accustomed to the
Weymouth track and will be eager to
get one over on their local rivals and
both have been riding extremely well
this season.
Redcar field Aussie hot shot Aaron Summers
who has been a revelation already this
season, and Buxton’s Jack Roberts is
a bit of a track specialist who last
season came off 15 meters on two occasions
to take the chequered flag when on a
tactical substitute ride.
Sittingbourne’s Jerran Hart is another
of speedways rising stars and Rye House
field former Wildcat Terry Day who knows
his way around the tight Wessex Stadium
circuit as well as anyone. While Scunthorpe’s
Byron Bekker and Scott Richardson will
be equally keen to see their names engraved
on the trophy.
The meeting starts at 7.15pm.
