Lee Complin, one of the outstanding British speedway prospects of recent times, will come out of retirement to race in the Wayne Carter farewell meeting at the Scunthorpe Raceway on Sunday 1st April (start time 2pm). Complin burst onto the scene as a 16-year old with the Sheffield Tigers in 2001 Premier League but at the end of the 2002 season he retired “due to personal reasons” after averaging close to eight in only his second season.

 

Over the last year Complin has returned to race around speedway tracks, winning the Short Track UK Championship in his very first season, but on Sunday April 1st, Complin, who is still only 22 years old, will race a speedway bike for the time in four and a half years.

 

Complin will join fifteen other riders as they battle it out in a twenty heat ‘handicap-style’ individual meeting. The meeting, now dubbed Mr. C’s Final Crusade, will see riders race from staggered start positions dependent on where they finished in their previous race. Race winners will start from the back grid, second place finishers further forward, third placed riders further forward still, whilst riders who finish last will start their next race from the tapes. The format is certain to help produce fantastic racing around a track which has become extremely popular with riders since its construction less than three years ago.

 

Other riders already declared for the meeting are Ronnie Correy, Andre Compton, Robbie Kessler, Garry Stead, Peter Carr, Derek Sneddon, Jack Hargreaves, Simon Lambert and three Scunthorpe Scorpions’ riders Josh Auty, Richie Dennis and Andrew Tully. Four places are left to be filled and announcements will follow over the next week or two.

 

The Scorpions’ season will open seven days before Mr. C’s Final Crusade with the Boston Barracudas visiting the Scunthorpe Raceway on Sunday 25th March for the first leg of the Lincolnshire Cup (start time 3pm).

King’s Lynn’s Swedish heat-leader Daniel Nermark has agreed to race in Mr. C’s Final Crusade, the Wayne Carter farewell meeting, which takes place at the Scunthorpe Raceway on Sunday 1st April.

 

The 29-year old, who managed a nine-point average with the league winning Stars in 2006, will be racing for the first time at Scunthorpe but his impressive 10.33 home Premier League average shows a liking for fast tracks and he certain to be amongst the pre-meetings favourites.

 

Others who have already agreed to take part include three who start the season as their club’s top averaged rider in the Premier League. American Ronnie Correy has dropped down from a long career in the Elite League to lead the Edinburgh Monarchs, Andre Compton is the Sheffield Tigers’ top rider whilst Garry Stead is has the highest average in a strong Stoke Potters side. They are joined by Robbie Kessler, Peter Carr, Lee Complin, Derek Sneddon, Jack Hargreaves and Simon Lambert whilst three of the Lincs FM Scunthorpe Scorpions Conference League Championship-winning side, Josh Auty, Richie Dennis and Andrew Tully, are set to pit their skills against their Premier League colleagues.

 

With three riders still to be finalised the field is certain to be the strongest ever to race at the Scunthorpe Raceway whilst the handicap racing format of the 20-heat meeting will surely produce some fantastic racing in honour of Carter, who was forced to retire from riding after eighteen seasons.

 

The racing is set to start at 2pm and on top of 20 heats of speedway the celebrations are also set to include sidecar racing and live emu racing. The Lincs FM season kicks off seven days before Mr. C’s Final Crusade, on Sunday 25th March (start time 3pm), when local rivals, the Boston Barracudas bring a strong team, led by Jon Armstrong, Simon Lambert, Darren Mallett and Matthew Wright to race in the first leg of the Lincolnshire Cup.
