This is fast becoming the biggest gathering of international speedway riders at a single event in Australia for years. SMCWA President Mr Andrew Heeps confirmed the news today, we are delighted these two young Swedes can make it to Perth, we've been in talks for a few weeks now and its all fallen into place nicely.

Well guys i can tell you the Johnno's in ok, you guys are sharpe.

** 2010 Rob Woffinden Classic Rider Update ** Johno's in.... One of the last pieces has now been added to the exciting lineup for the 2010 Rob Woffinden Classic. Quite possibly the most charismatic personality in world speedway and one of Rob's closest mates, Steve "Johno'' Johnston has confirmed his place for the November 20th event. Having Johno back in Perth for this very special event is another coup for the SMCWA and Pinjar Park. Its all in the timing assembling a quality field like this, club spokesman Bruce Russell said today...We have been absolutely blown away with the response from riders all over the world that have requested a start. It just shows the level of respect Woffy held in the world of speedway...Having Johno home in time, Sue & Tai in town and rest of the international boys all heading to Perth first is outstanding news ,Bruce went on to say. This is probably the only chance Perth fans will see Steve and Tai together at Pinjar so we couldn't be happier, its great news for everyone involved. It would be fair to say this meeting will now be the most prestigious event ever held at the Pinjar Park venue. We have started a new era at Pinjar, its fast becoming Perth's best kept secret as far as speedway racing is concerned. We are very proud of what we have achieved in a short time and the future looks great within the club and its members, Bruce added. Brad Muller Media Liaison SMCWA

** Pinjar Park, Perth WA Special Edition ** Welcome home... Its official, adopted sandgropers Sue & Tai Woffinden will be home in Perth for the event of the year, the 2010 Rob Woffinden Classic. Words can't explain how delighted the Committee & Members of the SMCWA are to have the family present. Rob was the heart n soul of the club during the early years of Pinjar Park and awarded a life membership for his services. The Woffinden family was instrumental in the development of junior speedway in Perth and in particular the birth of Pinjar Park. For speedways fans here in Perth this is fantastic news as Tai will take is place is this star studded line-up. Tai is the current Wolverhampton (Uk Elite League) skipper & a 2010 GP rider and joins Wolverhampton team mates, Freddie, Ty and Ludvig on Saturday the 20th of November. Speedway fans are in for a real methanol treat as Tai really motors around the Pinjar circuit. For those lucky enough to have seen this young guy ride the Pinjar ring you know what i'm talking about, it truly is an awesome sight. This meeting will be a photographers treat as Pinjar will see some of the most spectacular riders in the world today, Freddie Lindgren, Ty Proctor, Simon Stead, Ludvig Lindgren and Joe Haines to name a few. On behalf of everyone involved with the SMCWA we wish Sue and Tai a safe trip home and we look forward to seeing you at the 2010 Rob Woffinden Classic. Brad Muller SMCWA

Thanks for the info, we have just had news that Sam Masters has pulled out of the event. Sam is bitterly dissapointed as you all could understand. The SMCWA will announce shortly Sam's replacement and other signings later this week.

I cant start to you you all how much this meeting means to the committee & members of the SMCWA. Rob was one of a handfull of workers that dug Pinjar Park out of nothing. Wuffy was the heart n soul of Pinjar. Didn't matter who you where, a novice, a super star you where all the same to Wuffy and he was always happy to help. There's not many riders in Perth particualy, that haven't had the pleasure to have met the man. This meeting will be the start of a new era in speedway motorcycle racing in Perth. On the 20th of November 2010 we will pay homage to one of speedways biggest characters, and be rest assured the man will be watching.
