The Wightlink Warriors are hoping for a dry day as they prepare for racing in Ryde tonight (Thursday).
This week’s action features the Nora British Upright Championship sponsored by Freelance Installations with 16 riders competing over 20 heats with everyone using the traditional upright speedway motor.
Wightlink Warriors co-owner, Barry Bishop, said:
“Last season we had magnificent support from within the sport, from our main sponsor Freelance Installations and from supporters on the terraces not to mention the ever-growing band of riders in the upright fraternity who welcomed the chance to compete in a meaningful meeting conducted in true race conditions.
"These riders take absolute pride in maintaining their classic machines in tip-top condition as those attending the meeting will see."
The line-up for the Nora British Upright Championship is expected to include Edward Kennett, Nigel Flatman, Dean Felton, Wayne Broadhurst, Keith Cornell, Roy Miller, Shaun Bickley, Ben Phillips, James Major, Giles Dismore, Nigel Coates, Ian Leverington, Mark Anderson, Andy Hickman, Graham Knowler, and Jon Freeman.
Gates at the Smallbrook Stadium open at 5.15pm with the main event starting at 7.00pm. Pre-booking is not required.
