The start-time of the preceding Scunthorpe v Edinburgh Premier League meeting is 3pm, with Stags v Dukes to follow. Carter, now 44, was a leading light for the Scorpions in their very first season at the Eddie Wright Raceway in 2005, before injury forced his retirement during 2006. But he has remained an integral part of the club as its training officer. Stags’ team manager Richard Hollingsworth said: “It’ll be great to see Wayne back in a competitive meeting. He comes from Halifax, so he was the natural choice to spearhead the Dukes’ line-up, alongside Max Clegg. “Of course, Wayne also has major connections with Scunthorpe Speedway, both on-and-off the track. He was the first-ever captain of the Scunthorpe Scorpions at this particular track, and he was a near 10.00 man for us in 2005. “If anything his contribution behind the scenes has been even greater. Sometimes I think that maybe not enough is said of the great work he does at this club. “Nearly the whole of the novice class at our regular Amateur Meetings have ridden on the mini-track with Wayne. “He also has training sessions on the main track, where nearly all those attending started out on the mini-track under his tutelage. “It is incredible what he does and we get so much positive feedback about the help he has given riders, be it ones who are just coming for a one-off session or those who want to progress in the sport. “If ever there was an unsung hero at Scunthorpe, it is Wayne Carter.” Teams for Scunthorpe vs Halifax: SCUNTHORPE STAGS: 1. Lee Payne 2. Robert Parker 3. Ryan Blacklock 4. Rob Shuttleworth 5. Adam Extance 6. Jamie Halder 7. Luke Whitehead HALIFAX DUKES: 1. Wayne Carter 2. Paul Burnett 3. Adam Kirby 4. David Speight 5.
