After a weekend without any main track activity due to Saturday's stockcars I'm pleased to announce we have plenty on over the next fortnight:

 

Sat 6th - WISS Skids Practice 12pm-4pm **bookings required through Wayne & Ivan**

Sun 7th - Wayne Carter Main Track Training School 9am-5pm **bookings required**

Sat 13th - Amateur Meeting 11am-5pm **bookings required**

Sun 14th - Wayne Carter Minitrack Session 12pm-4pm **bookings required**

 

There are still a few spaces on Wayne Carter's Main Track training school next Sunday whilst I am also taking bookings for the amateur meeting and Wayne's minitrack session the week after.

[Scunny Stag 72]

There was some great track activity at Scunny over the weekend. A group booking on the minitrack and a WISS Skids practice accounted for Saturday whilst Wayne Carter's Main Track Training School was once again very popular.

 

This coming weekend we have an amateur meeting on Saturday (13th) will quite a lot of early bookings. If at all possible I would like to do the programme on Thursday night so if I can bookings by then it would be appreciated. Then on Sunday (14th) Wayne Carter is running a session on the mini track and there are still quite a few spaces. Please contact me on 07832-402167 for info or bookings for either.

[Scunny Stag 72]

There is just one space available for 12th May with Wayne Carter on the mini-track but there are quite a few remaining for the 25th May and beyond. Just text or call 07832-402167 to reserve a space.

June 16th I think is the correct date for the amateur mtg?

[Scunny Stag 72]

Afraid tomorrow's track activity (private practice on main track and a group session with Wayne Carter on the minitrack) has fallen victim to the weather. The forecast for tomorrow is very poor

[Scunny Stag 72]

Bookings for the minitrack are really strong at the moment so please book early to avoid disappointment.

[Scunny Stag 72]

This coming weekend's Wayne Carter session on the minitrack is fully booked. Session after that is 22nd June. Also got over 20 bookings already for the amateur meeting on 16th June. With nearly two weeks until the meeting we're expecting an excellent turnout.

Adult classes - Open, Support and Novice

Youth Classes - Y80, Y125, Y250 and Y500

plus youth pit bike, adult pit bike and short track classes

 

Please text or call 07832-402167 to make a booking or request further info.

Douglas has fun in the sun at Scunny

Scunthorpe Scorpions’ reserve Ryan Douglas showed his class by reeling off six wins in Sunday’s amateur meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway. He defeated Coventry’s Oliver Greenwood, the unattached Danny Phillips, who rode for the Saints in the National League last year, and former pro Gary O’Hare in the final. In total nearly fifty riders competed in 85 races over eight classes and in less than five and a half hours.

The number of races was another record, beating April’s eight-four, and there would have been more if Lewis Rose hadn’t have received a phone call to guest in the Premier League at Workington just before his first race. With favourable weather the track stood up exceptionally well and the other class winners were Martin Pearce (Support), Nathan Cheetham (Novice), Reece Downes (Youth 500), Zach Wajtknecht (Youth 250), Jolyon West (Youth 125), Alan Birtwistle (Flat Track) and Jamie Halder (Pit Bikes).

Afterwards meeting organiser Richard Hollingsworth was impressed with the number of new riders who had taken part in the meeting “It is always great to welcome new riders and we had six in the novice class today. Young Liam Sellers had first ridden on the minitrack with Wayne Carter just five weeks ago and he made it to the A Final. In fact nearly the whole of the novice class field, and there was eleven in the class, have ridden on the mini track with Wayne. He was helping Liam and too others in their first meetings today and not enough is said about the great work that he does.

“He has a session on the main track next week and nearly all those attending have started out on the mini track. It is incredible what he does and we get so much positive feedback about the help he has given riders, be ones who are just coming for a one-off session or those who want to progress in the sport.

“If ever there was an unsung hero at Scunthorpe it is Wayne Carter”.

The next amateur meeting at Scunthorpe is on Sunday 7^th July and places can be reserved by contacting Richard via email (richardh1967@ntlworld.com), Facebook (www.facebook.com/rh1967) or by texting or calling 07832-402167 (please leave a message if unavailable).

Flat trackers come to Scunthorpe

The next amateur meeting at Scunthorpe’s Eddie Wright Raceway will also feature a round of the British Flat Track Championship run by the Dirt Track Riders’ Association. It will just be the youth classes as the seniors have an additional round on another date. However, it is hoped that there will be a club class for adults to compete in.

Any flat track riders wanting to compete need to contact Adam Waller on 01482-323123.
