    New Rider Help

    Hi Rick, If you text me on 07832-402167 I'll provide you with any answers you need about the amateur scene. Speedway Star has amateur fixtures listed but Facebook is where it is at. 99% of amateur riders seem to be on there. I run the meetings and the Scunthorpe Amateur Speedway Facebook group (Scunthorpe Amateur Speedway | Facebook) but happy to provide info/contacts for all tracks around the country. A thriving amateur scene is good for all clubs involved. Cheers, Richard
  2. Scunthorpe Speedway pride itself in offering more track time to amateur riders than any other track in the country and all year round. The list below is kept up to date but new dates are being added all the time with Wayne Carter running training schools/experience days on both tracks, Andy Meredith his AMSA Speedway Academy day on both tracks, WISS Skids running practices in addition to the highly acclaimed amateur meetings and winter practices run by ourselves. The track is also available to hire at reasonable rates (starts at £400 plus £100 deposit for in case of air fence damage). Please contact Richard Hollingsworth at richardh1967@ntlworld.com or text/call 97832-402167. Please see the website at http://scunthorpescorpions.co/ for all details Of particular interest should be: Track Calendar - a listing of all amateur practices, meetings and training sessions http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?page_id=73 Try Speedway - Wayne Carter runs regular sessions on the mini track where full provision of equipment and use of the club's 150cc bikes costs just £75 (£30 with own bike). Vouchers can be purchased and there is no expiry date on them http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?page_id=51 The Amateurs section - the club runs regular meetings all year round for a wide range of speedway and non-speedway classes plus the British Amateur Championship and Dirt Diggers race fest http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?page_id=88 Corporate/Group Bookings - the mini track can be booked for a group of up to 12 people for just £660 http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?page_id=78
  3. The last Royal Mail posting date for guaranteed delivery prior to Christmas is Thursday 20th December. Mini track vouchers cost £75 and more details can be found here http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?page_id=51
  4. The 2018 British Amateur Championships were scheduled for the 28th and 29th April at Scunthorpe's Eddie Wright Raceway. Sadly the first day had to be called off the day before because of the rain forecast (it did come and we did prevent unnecessary travel) but Sunday 29th did take place and was a huge success with 44 entries in seven classes (Support Class, Novice Class, Formula 2 Class, Youth 500, Youth 250, Youth 125/150 Open and Youth 125/150 Support). Results and report can be found here http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?p=8474 More importantly a gap has been found to run the six classes that were due to race on 28th April. That will take place on Sunday 19th August for Pro Class (probably should have been termed semi-pro), Open Class, Upright Class, Upright Support Class (those likely to take over 75 seconds for four laps of Scunthorpe), 160cc Class and Quad Class. We had 43 entrants for the original date and virtually everyone is expected to take part in the re-staging. Of course new entrants are very welcome. More details are available at http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?page_id=8269 but feel free to text me (Richard Hollingsworth) on 07832-402167 for more details. With the 2018 championship only announced in March there was limited notice to spread the word but it is expected that the 2019 Championship will be run over three days in March (24th, 30th and 31st). It hasn't been decided which classes will run on which day (probably decided after August 19th meeting has been run) but it is hoped that the earlier date will encourage more National League plus Development League riders to enter because of the limited chances of fixture clashes. For the record the 2018 British Amateur Champions so far are: Support Class- Tom Spencer Novice Class - James Spencer Formula 2 Class - Jamie Swales Youth 500 - Joe Thompson Youth 250 - Jake Mulford Youth 125/150 Open - Sam McGurk Youth 125/150 Support - William Cairns
  5. Taking bookings for the six remaining classes of the 2018 Championship - Pro, Open, Upright Open, Upright Support, 160cc and Quad classes
  6. Please note that we have several new classes in our amateur meetings and all meetings are now split into two with non-speedway classes having their own separate days. Adult Speedway Classes - Open, Support, Novice, Upright Open, Upright Support and 160cc Youth Speedway Classes - Y500, Y250, Y125/150 Open and Y125/150 Support Adult Non-speedway Classes - Flat Track, Street Tracker, Inappropriate Road Bike, MX/Dirt Bike (no lowered suspension and minimum front wheel size 21"), Pit Bikes (for 4 strokes with laydown engines up to 160cc with a max of 14" rear wheel and 17" front wheel. Pit Bike Evo (for 4 stroke engines up to 160cc with no restrictions on wheel size or engine configuration), Scooter (not Winter Series) and Ladies (not Winter Series) Youth Non-speedway classes - Junior One is for up to 50cc (2-stroke) or 110cc (4-stroke) whilst Junior Two is up to 85cc (2-stroke) or 160cc (4-stroke). To book a place please send Richard Hollingsworth a text on 07832-402167 or contact him via Facebook. Simply adding your name as an attendee to the Facebook event is not enough.

    SCB and amatuer racing.

    I'm not sure what action can or will be taken Martin but I think the SCB's problem is that the track isn't licensed by them. I think that is the logic, whether we agree with it or not. We do offer plenty of amateur racing at Scunthorpe and it is certainly available at Leicester too.

    Scorpions 2017

    We are certainly blessed at Scunthorpe with some truly great people who help run the club and Jon is one of the finest. As far as I know ladies he is still available too but surely not for very long. Well done Jon and thanks to Rob for taking the time to tell the world.
  9. Don't forget track hire at Scunthorpe starts at £300 for up to ten riders plus £100 deposit in case the air fence is burst. Mondays are the best day for hire but just contact me on 07832-402167 if you want to discuss.
  10. All Scunthorpe track activity will be put on this one thread for 2015. It prevents us from having to maintain lots of different threads and it also gives people one place to look for all track activity. There are a few descriptive notes at the bottom of this thread about each type of activity Where it states "book via Richard" or you want more information (including weather and track updates) please contact me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/rh1967 - there is also an excellent Scunthorpe Amateur Group on there), email (richard@scunthorpespeedway.com) or text or call 07832-402167. If you call and I'm unavailable (this is done in my spare time) please leave a message with your number (if my phone hasn't got reception then the missed call number doesn't display) or, even better, send a text.

It is the perfect entry level for riders who are learning to slide a bike and a great 'experience day' for fans who are just looking for a one-off day to see how it is to ride a speedway bike. It is also a great place for the slightly more experienced riders to really get used to turning a bike although the track isn't really suitable for 500cc bikes. The club have a range of 125cc and 150cc bikes that can be used, along with all the safety equipment (including steel shoes now) for £70. Wayne is a fantastic tutor and there are a long line of riders coming through the ranks who have started out being taught by Wayne. Any rider with their own bike can also ride for £25. Wayne Carter Main Track Training Schools came about because so many of the people who had been taught by Wayne on the minitrack wanted further one-on-one tuition on the main track. However, the sessions are suitable for all abilities. If a rider just wants to practice then they can ensure plenty of track time because sessions are limited to just 16 riders. The 2015 format now sees sessions run from 11am to 4pm but if anyone wants some tuition on bike maintenance or bike set-up they can have an additional two hours from 9am to 11am for £20. The five hour on-track session costs just £50. It will have a break in the middle of the session with free drinks and snacks provided. There is also an opportunity for up to two riders to hire Wayne's bikes for an additional £100 for the full day. Ideally Wayne likes to have seen those wanting to use his 500s on the minitrack to ensure they are safe enough. To book a place please send Richard Hollingsworth a text on 07832-402167 or contact him via Facebook. Simply adding your name as an attendee to the Facebook event is not enough. AMSA Andy Meredith Speedway Academy regularly hire both tracks and bookings/more details are available by contacting Andy on 07816-874781, Heather on 07722-656105 or joining the AMSA group on Facebook. Whilst all session are suitable for ladies Andy does also run 'ladies only' days. Amateur Meetings have been hugely successful and more and more classes are being added all the time. We have reached the stage where the winter rounds are split over two weekends. All meetings start at 11am (signing on 9.30-10.30am) but the summer meetings (April to October) are split into two halves with the a later signing-on and start time for the second half. There are now twelve classes being run with four adult speedway classes (Open, Support and Novice Classes plus a separate Upright class for those with upright engines who don't want to ride in the other adult classes). Novice Class riders vary from those who aren't sliding much at all to those who, given decent conditions, have a full slide on around the bends. Typically once a rider is winning races under 70 seconds they move up to the Support Class and then when a rider is confident enough or they are breaking something like 63 seconds they move up to the Open Class where there is a wide range of National League plus occasional Premier League standard riders mixing it with the best second halfers. There are four youth classes with three youth speedway classes (Youth 500, Youth 250 and Youth 125/150 plus a Junior 110cc class for youth riders with pit bikes, moto X bikes etc. up to a maximum of 110cc ) In addition there are also Flat Track, Road Bike, Quad Bike and Adult Pit Bike classes to take the class count to twelve. Costs are the same as a practice (£40, but just £30 if the rider is under 15 years old and for those classes that take up to 15 riders in a race) and typically we have Anji's food van selling food and drink close to the pits. Trophies are always presented to the top three in each class and regulars can also compete for the Summer Championship and Winter Series titles (subject to riders completing more than half of the completed rounds). WISS Skids Main Track Private Practices Ivan Howarth runs private practices throughout the year. He has paramedic first aid cover and he can be contacted through Facebook or via 07534-540610. Mini Track Open Practices The minitrack is often available for riders with their own bikes and equipment when we run on the main track. However, it is sometimes booked out and sometimes the track team have to focus their efforts on getting the main track ready. With that in mind it is definitely always best to contact me to make sure the track is available for use. Track hire Both tracks are available for hire at reasonable rates so please contact me if you are interested (07832-402167). Whilst we do have 24/7 planning permission we do have to fit track hire around the the track team's availability (they also work at Sheffield). The cost of hiring the main track starts at £300 (plus £100 deposit in case of air fence damage)

  13. Mirek claims third Summer Championship Three months short of his 50th Birthday former Polish Elite League rider Miroslaw Daniszewki claimed his third Summer Championship title at Scunthorpe Speedway’s Eddie Wright Raceway last Sunday. With a last bend pass of Ricky Scarboro in the final he claimed the round victory and ensured he couldn’t be caught when the last round is raced on October 4th. Other Summer Championship titles were won in the Novice, Upright and Youth 125/150 classes. Tim Antill claimed his first round win and an unassailable lead in the Novice Class after defeating the previously unbeaten Dave Brayshaw in the final. In the Upright Class it was Gary O’Hare who reeled off six wins and his fourth round win of the summer whilst 11-year old Jolyon West could console himself with the Summer title in the Youth 125/150 class after being defeated for the first time in six meetings. He had once again gone through qualifying unbeaten but was headed home by Harry McGurk after an epic three-way tussle with him and Jordan Palin. There were great races throughout the day and the Support Class final was another that produced a last lap pass. 17-year old George Rothery was the star on that occasion with an outstanding pass of Bulgarian Stoian Stoianov to claim his second successive class win. There were further class wins for Luke Woodhull (Youth 500 on his debut in the class), Leon Flint (also on his class debut in the Youth 250 class) and Skye Adams (Flat Track) along with two for George Hopper (Pit Bike and Junior 110 classes). After the meeting organiser Richard Hollingsworth confirmed it was one of the best meetings the club had run “We had about sixty riders and ran 87 races. Not once was the paramedic called to attend anyone and the quality of the racing was exceptional in just about every class. You can’t ask for better than that can you? “So many of the classes are expanding even though it is the height of the holiday season. We had seven in the upright class, eight pit bikes, nine flat trackers. It’s all very encouraging and I’m sure when the MDL, National League, grass track and flat track seasons wind down we’ll see extra riders coming along. We’ll certainly have a big turnout on 4th October for the final round of the Summer Championship and now we’ve announced twelve Winter Series meetings. Once the clocks go back at the end of October we have to split the classes over two separate weekends so we’ll have the youth classes along with flat track and pit bikes one weekend and then the following week we will have the four adult speedway classes. It’s always exciting when the classes are really full so I’m really looking forward to the coming months. “Of course we do rely on people coming forward to help us run the meetings but hopefully people will race in their rounds and then come and help run the meetings for the other classes over the winter. It was great to have some new people come forward to help this week and we really appreciate the help given to us. We have some amazing regulars but many hands make light work and what we really want is where everyone is chipping in and people are only having to help out at one or two a year. Offers of help or places can be reserved in the October 4th meeting by texting Richard Hollingsworth on 07832-402167.

  15. I am taking bookings for the next amateur meeting on Sunday 12th July but please note that I may not be available at all between 23rd and 30th June. As always texting 07832-402167 or via Facebook are the best ways to contact me.
  16. Already have around 50 riders for next Sunday's amateur meeting. For those who haven't been to one they are split into two halves so people don't have too long between rides (typically six rides in three hours) and the details are on the first post of this thread and the Scunny amateurs facebook page. However, in short if you want to book in or need more details simply test me on 07832-402167.
  17. Last Sunday 67 riders competed over 98 races in the opening round of Scunthorpe Speedway’s Summer Championship. In the Open Class it was 2011 and 2014 Summer Champion Mirek Daniszewski who claimed the honours whilst rising star Jamie Halder pushed him all the way in the ‘A’ Final whilst claiming also claiming the Support Class title. After the Meeting Organiser Richard Hollingsworth explained “Whilst the improved opportunities in the National League and Midland Development League may have reduced the entrants in the Open Class the rule changes have finally given British riders the encouragement they need and there were strong entries in the other classes suggesting that there will soon be riders coming through to backfill the higher classes. “It always encouraging to see plenty of young riders entering the meetings because it is a measure of how the sport might be faring in five years time. There may be problems with the sport but we are getting more and more youngsters interested in riding and that can only be a good thing. We have over fifty riders in next Sunday’s British Youth Championship round and I don’t think that figure has been achieved before. It should be a great afternoon’s speedway. The other adult class winners were Luke McKenna (Novice Class) and Gary O’Hare (Upright Class). O’Hare is a three time winner of the Open Class but has switched to the increasingly popular upright class which see riders using old-style engines that are mounted in an upright position rather than in the modern laydown position. The youth class winners were Jack Parkinson-Blackburn (500cc), Ben Woodhull (250cc) and Jolyon West (125/150cc) whilst there was a very strong non-speedway entry. Alan Birtwhistle (Flat Track), Alfie Collett (Adult Pit Bikes) and Luke Harrison (Junior 110cc) were the class winners. The next meeting is on Sunday 31st May and will once again be split into two halves to ensure riders aren’t waiting too long between rides. The first half will start at 11am with the Open, Support, Youth 500, Youth 250, Flat Track and Junior 110 classes followed by the Novice, Uprights, Youth 125/150 and Adult Pit Bike classes at 2pm. Places can be reserved in the meeting by texting Richard Hollingsworth on 07832-402167 whilst further rounds of the Summer Championship will take place on 12th July, 23rd August and 4th October. The first round of the British Youth Championship takes place at Scunthorpe’s Eddie Wright Raceway this Sunday (10th May) with a 3pm start time. There are 55 races scheduled and entry is just £5 for adults with free entry for anyone aged 16 and under.

  18. Taking bookings for the next amateur meetings on Saturday 2nd May. Cost is £40 but £30 for youth riders and for the pit bike and flat track riders where up to a dozen riders can race at the same time. This meeting is split into two halves so everyone isn't hanging around all day and to try and give the best track possible to all ten classes. The first half will see riders signing in between 9.30am and 10.30am and start racing at 11am. It will feature the Open, Support, Youth 500, Youth 250, Flat track and Junior 110 classes and will hopefully be complete somewhere between 3 and 4 hours. The second half will commence after the first half finals and track maintenance but not before 2pm. It will see the Adult Pit Bike plus Novice, Upright and Youth 125/150 speedway classes. WE REALLY DO HAVE A CLASS FOR RIDERS OF ALL ABILITIES AND EVERYONE IS WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS. The meeting costs £40 to enter but just £30 for the youth classes plus flat track and pit bike classes where we can have up to 12 or more in a race. For spectators it is free to watch but riders must book in with Richard Hollingsworth on here or by texting 07832-402167. SIMPLY ADDING YOURSELF TO THE ATTENDEES LIST IS NOT ENOUGH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The meeting will provide five programmed rides and AT LEAST ONE FINAL FOR EVERYONE. There are trophies for the top three in each class and there will be a paramedic in attendance. Angie's Food van will be in attendance whilst Darren and Dan Miles' spares van will be there to sell fuel, oil and other spares. To contact them direct call 07563-500409. Riders do not need new silencers, mudguards etc. and can ride on day licenses (with no additional charge). Positions in all classes will be decided in the finals with every rider qualifying for one. THE WINNER OF EACH SPEEDWAY CLASS FINAL ADVANCES TO THE NEXT. (e.g. Winner of the 'E' Final advances to the 'D' Final etc. etc.). Riders can ride in as many or as few meetings as they like but Summer Championship points are scored in the following manner: 20 points for 1st, 19 for 2nd etc down to 1 point for 20th (although that would be increased for all rounds if we had more than 20 riders for a class on one day). For the classes where five rounds will hopefully be completed then the best four will count for riders because it allows a rider to miss a round. If only four rounds are completed then a riders top three rounds will count etc. etc. Helmet colours (old colours or new colours) are required in the speedway classes but can be borrowed (please give advance notice if possible) whilst dirt deflectors are required in the Open, Support,, Y500 and Y250 classes. If anyone has any questions then please just let me know.
  19. After a fantastic amateur meeting which was completed in about 3 hours 10 minutes today (see club website later tonight for a report) we have an open practice next Sunday (8th March). Before that, on Saturday, we have the Andy Meredith Speedway Academy.
  20. A great meeting today for the youth, pit bike and flat track classes. We'll do it all over again next Sunday (1st March) for the four adult speedway classes (open, Support, Novice and Upright engine). Cost is £40 and day permits are free. Just text me on 07832-402167 to book a place before 6pm on Saturday.
  21. Track in great shape after today's practice so with the threat of hard frosts hopefully gone it's full steam ahead with the track activities. Amateur meetings on the next two Sundays. Youth classes, flat track and pit bike classes on Sunday 22nd Feb and then on 1st March we have all four adult speedway classes (open, support, novice and upright engines). Text me on 07832-402167 to reserve places. See the first posting on this thread to see all the other practices and training schools that are taking place at Scunny.
  22. OPEN PRACTICE & MINI TRACK SESSION OFF – Unfortunately we have had to cancel tomorrow’s track activities. We have given it our best shot but there was too much frost came out of the track today and too little wind to dry it. However, with a great weather forecast for the week ahead the prospects of next Sunday’s practice (15th February, 12-4pm) taking place are exceptionally high.
  23. MEETING & MINI TRACK SESSION OFF After a track inspection this evening and a review of the weather forecast for tomorrow we have reluctantly had to call off Sunday's meeting and the minitrack session due for the same day. Despite 90% of the track being in great shape the inside on the entry to turn one is too soft and there is a stretch of track that is still under ice in front of the grandstand. Sadly it is felt the weather won't allow us to get the track fit this weekend. I'm afraid it means the next amateur meeting for the adult speedway classes will be on Sunday 1st March. Before then there are two open practices (Sunday 8th and Sunday 15th) plus an amateur meeting for the youth classes, pit bikes and flat track on Sunday 22nd February. http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/Scunthorpe
