SCUNTHORPE SPEEDWAY
TRAINING TRACK DETAILS Scunthorpe Speedway’s 92-metre mini track was built in 2007 and has proven to be an extremely popular addition. It’s size makes it ideal for smaller engine bikes (up to 250cc) and is perfect for introducing new riders to sliding. Riders have progressed from the mini track to all the British leagues and at one has ridden in the World Team Cup whilst the Wayne Carter sessions also provide a great environment and all the necessary equipment for fans of all ages, and from all over the country, to have a speedway experience. The sessions, which need to be booked in advance can be arranged by texting Richard Hollingsworth on 07832-402167. The cost for riders with their own bikes is £30 and for those who need to use the club’s bikes and equipment (everything is provided) it is £75. Typically sessions take place every second or third week and more information can be found at www.scunthorpe-speedway.com/?page_id=51

There are currently six adult classes (Open, Support and Novice Classes are ability based; Upright Open and Upright Support are two ability-based classes for upright engines and there is a new 160cc class for riders wanting to race on a budget with any speedway bike under 160cc (125/140/150/160 etc). There are four youth classes (500cc, 250cc and two ability bases 125/150cc classes ensuring that even a raw novice has a place to start racing). In addition, there are non-speedway classes for flat track bikes, pit bikes, inappropriate bikes (ones that aren’t designed to be raced on shale), scooters, MX bikes etc. etc. ensuring that the track is used as often as possible and by as many people as possible. Regular competitors can compete for the Summer Championship or Winter Series titles and for more details either text Richard Hollingsworth on 07832-402167 or go to www.facebook.com/groups/scunnyamateurs or www.scunthorpe-speedway.com/?page_id=2358
