The exciting spectacle of indoor cycle speedway racing returns to Salford this weekend. Fit City Broughton hosts the British Indoor Cycle Speedway Championships this forthcoming weekend (Saturday 28th / Sunday 29th November).
Widely regarded as the sport's best indoor venue, Broughton is bound to provide a feast of fast and exciting racing, featuring Britain's best indoor cycle speedway racers.
The juniors take to the track on Day 1 (Saturday). Racing consists of individual championships at U-13, U-16, U-19 levels and the junior team championship, featuring four-side teams of U-19 riders. There will be new winners in each of the junior individual competitions, as last year's winners have all moved up an age category and therefore cannot defend their titles. There will also be new winners in the junior team competition, as last year's winners, Wednesfield, will not be participating this time round. Last year's runners-up Sandwell will be looking to go one better this year.
Day 2 (Sunday) will be contested by the seniors and veterans. Racing consists of individual championships at senior and veterans levels and the senior team championship, featuring four-side teams of open age riders. Horspath's Mark Boaler returns to defend his senior individual title and he can expect some tough opposition from multi title winners Lee Aris (Wednesfield, Wolverhampton) and Steve Harris (Horspath, Oxford). Remarkably Harris is at the veteran stage and he is a clear favourite to retain the veterans title he won last year at Cheslyn Hay. Wednesfield won last year's team final from Horspath. These two clubs have dominated the team event in recent years and are bound to be strong contenders again.
Racing starts at 9.15 am on Saturday and 9 am on Sunday, running through to early evening on both days. The Broughton Centre has spectator seating, catering facilities and car parking. It's located just 2 miles away from Manchester City Centre, at Fit City Broughton, Camp Street, Salford. M7 1ZT. There's nothing like the spectacle of indoor racing, as riders hurtle round a small circuit, pitching their bikes over at gravity defying angles. Don't miss it!
