Top Gun Individual Meeting


Recommended Posts

WHO WILL BE THE TOP GUN?

TIGERS fans will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds at Owlerton on Thursday - as the club embraces the football World Cup along with showcasing the best in young speedway talent.

The doors of the stadium will be opened at 4.30pm to enable supporters to watch England's World Cup fixture against Trinidad & Tobago, with screens throughout the venue and chiefly in the Panorama Room.

Tapes go up on the speedway at 7.45pm, with an array of the sport's up-and-coming stars battling it out for the Top Gun Individual title.

Co-promoter Neil Machin said: "I know a lot of the supporters will want to see the England game and we're trying to accomodate them as well as offering them some exciting speedway racing.

"We've done this in the past and the fact that the England games kicks off at 5pm works very much in our favour, it's the perfect opportunity for supporters to come along and watch both the football and speedway.

"It's a very exciting line-up, and whenever we stage a meeting like this it always provides great entertainment. The youngsters are full of enthusiasm and commitment and never hold back."

LINE-UP: David Speight, Tom Hedley, Mark Jones, Ben Hopwood, Benji Compton (fitness test), Tai Woofinden, Scott Richardson, Jack Roberts, Shane Waldron, Matt Browne, Josh Auty, Richie Dennis, Mark Thompson, Mike Pickering, Rusty Hodgson, Sam Dore.

Yes Mark is Ashley's younger brother. And yes the resemblence is rather uncanny.

tai woffinden....absolutely unbelievable.i thought josh was a good prospect but this boy is special.

He's been practising at Lynn for the last couple of weeks and I agree he certainly does look good!

Hope Mark does well in this meeting, would love to see him ride in it.

I was hoping he'd have a blast round Lynn tonight, never mind we'll get our chance to see him soon eh ............ good luck to him at Sheffield!

Due to work commintments cannot be there tonight, I really would have like to see Mark Jones as he is rated as one of the top Aussie prospects.

Not sure who I think will win but I take Josh Auty and Tai Woffenden to be there or there abouts.

Mark told me last night that he hopes to have a spin around the Norfolk Arena after the meeting next Wednesday - so you won't have to wait too long Trees. He did put in some practice at Scunthorpe earlier this week in preparation for tonight.

 

I also hope that he goes well up at Sheffield. Shame that there are no live updates from the meeting.
