Guest Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Kent Speedway are pleased to announce that Central Park has been chosen to stage the Great Britain Under 19s Championship.This annual event which sees the cream of the nation's young riders in this age range compete for the national title has been staged since 2004 and this year will be its eleventh-staging. Previous winners include GB World Cup rider from Maidstone, Danny King (who was the first-champ back in 2004), fellow GB international Lewis Bridger and two-times a winner of this junior title, the current World and senior British Champion, Tai Woffinden.The winner for the past two seasons, Stefan Nielsen has moved out of this age category now - opening the way for a new name to be added to the roll of honour, as this major championship comes to Kent for the first time.Co-promoter Len Silver commented, "This very prestigious event, awarded to our fine stadium, is the first of what I hope will be many major events to be staged here. With the impressive facilities and outstanding viewing, Central Park is a venue worthy of fixtures of the highest calibre." We have always said we are ideally set up to stage major championships and it is a great honour that in only our second season operating we've been awarded this BSPA organised event with a national championship title up for grabs. When one sees who's won this title before, it certainly shows what an important championship the Under 19s is; and we can be sure the meeting will be extremely keenly contested by a field packed with the country's finest young Speedway racing talent".The meeting is to be held at Central Park in Sittingbourne on Monday September 1st with an earlier than usual start time of 6.15pm. The revised start time is to ensure that all races are completed before the 8.30pm curfew. Trophies for first, second and third placed riders are to be provided by Kent Speedway's valued sponsorship partner, Buckmore Park Karting http://www.kentkings.co/news.php?item.212.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Who can we get excited about seeing then? Give them time to sort out the line-up. It still is nearly a month away. Why produce a line-up now then start changing it over the next couple of weeks for various reasons. Better to give names nearer the actual date surely?

westhamboy66 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 irrespective of the line up i will look forward to this. Whatever level and i think i have seen them all, the British Championships have always been decent meetings, fair play to Kent for offering to stage the event as i am sure there weren't many takers.

arnieg Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Potential starters: Robert Lambert Adam Ellis Oliver Greenwood Nathan Greaves Liam Carr Jack Kingston James Shanes Connor Mountain Danny Phillips Josh Bailey And I'd guess the rest would probably come from: Michael Neale Sam Chapman Reece Downes Danno Verge Luke Harris Sam Kirby Daniel Spiller Zach Wajtknecht nb Josh Bates (Leicester at Wolves) Max Clegg (Leicester at Wolves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that half Sam Woods and half Adam Kirby? I'd wondered what had happened to Wajtknecht - he doesn't appear to have ridden this year anywhere and yet he is I'd imagine the age for the NL by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yup - s/b Adam Kirby. Zach W rode in 1st round of this year's BYC, but haven't seen his name in any German results this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistlegang Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Robert Lambert will rip this meeting to pieces if he rides Garrity? I might have a bet on Kingston, or if he's fit, James Shanes. Isn't Marc Owen young enough for this meeting? Boy he's good around CP.

Wiseguy Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I can't believe Adam Ellis is only 18, he looks a lot older, he looks like Chris Holder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
