Leicester stage Final of British Sidecar Speedway Championship, Oct. 27th.

[britmet 233]

Leicester have stepped in to stage the Final round of the ACU British Sidecar Speedway Championship on Oct. 27th after the effects of Storm Callum caused the cancellation of the Belle Vue meeting this w/end, Oct. 13th.
This will be the third time that the East Midlands speedway has staged Sidecar racing this season after the initial round of the Championship in May and the successful Team Challenge of last month.
.
Defending champs Mark Cossar & Carl Blyth lead Paul Whitelam & Alan Elliot by the slenderest of margins, so its going to be 18 heats of close and exciting racing to finish the ACU competition on Saturday October 27th at Beaumont Leys and crown the 2018 British Champion.
Admission is £10, - U16s free: Start time is 7:30pm.

Meeting at Leicester was rained-off and there seems to be no chance of a re-staging so late in the year. Anyone know now who is the British Sidecar Speedway champion of 2018?

3	Mick Cave	34
4	Rod Winterburn	22
5	Will Often	22
6	Rob Wilson	21
