Speedway Track To Host Semi-Final
14 December 2011 by Hamst
Speedway fans are in for a treat next year when the World Under-21 Team World Cup semi-final takes place at the towns Eddie Wright Raceway on 27th May 2012
It will be the first time the Scunthorpe track will stage an FIM World Championship event and there are a number of candidates for the Great Britain team who have connections with the town.
Local promoter Rob Godfrey has said, “A large percentage of the young riders in this country have spent a lot of time racing at our track and our own Ashley Birks, Steve Worrall and Richie Worrall have to be strong candidates for places whilst Kyle Howarth, Joe Haines, Jerran Hart, Ashley Morris and James Sarjeant are others who qualify and have ridden for us over recent seasons,”
He went on to say, “ It would be great if Denmark were drawn in our semi-final because Thomas Jorgensen should hopefully ride for them, That said, the prospect of seeing the Swedish or Russian Ubder-21s in action on our track is just mouth watering, and I fell the British side will have a great opportunity to advance to the final.”
