Double World champion Jason Crump will have an extra reason to shine when Grand Prix style racing comes to Belle Vue tomorrow (Monday) at the celebration of their 80th anniversary.

Crump, one of five riders to bring the World title to the club, is in a field of 16 riders who will be racing over 20 heats for the Peter Craven Trophy in memory of the man who won the crown in 1955 and 1962.

Crump, a keen student of speedway history, said: "Peter Craven is one of the Belle Vue legends and I am very keen to win this trophy again because it carries his name. Also, this is a very significant meeting in the Belle Vue story so I want to be the man to win it."

David Gordon, the One51 Aces chief, added: "Speedway has run at Belle Vue for 80 years without a break and Peter Craven is a hero to everyone at the club. A top-class meeting like treats him with the dignity he deserves."

The trophy meeting is the centre part of a show which includes a variety of attractions including old bikes from 1928, when speedway started in Britain, to a parade of more than 40 former riders. Also, for children, there will be clowns and face painting.

Riders in the main event will each wear a race jacket depicting one of the great clubs who have faced the Aces over the years.

The field, and the clubs whose colours they will be wearing, is: Tai Woffinden (Odsal Tudors), Carl Stonehewer (Leicester Lions), Ricky Ashworth (Sheffield Tigers), Jason Crump (Bristol Bulldogs), Joe Screen (Belle Vue Aces), Billy Forsberg (Norwich Stars), Nick Simmons (Coventry Bees), Jason Lyons (Birmingham Brummies), Leigh Adams (Swindon Robins), Lewis Bridger (Wimbledon Dons), Scott Nicholls (Wembley Lions), James Wright (Exeter Falcons), Jurica Pavlic (Southampton Saints), Chris Holder (Poole Pirates), Patrick Hougaard (West Ham Hammers), Charlie Gjedde (Cradley Heath Heathens).

Admission is £20 with children under 12 free if accompanied by an adult. Gates open at 4-0 and turnstiles at 5-0.

The old bikes and the Belle Vue mascots will be in action on the track from 6.05 and at 6.45 former riders will be presented from the top of a vintage, double decker 53 bus from the Manchester Transport Museum which used to take fans to Hyde Road.

There will be a grand parade at 7-0 and the racing will begin at 7.35.
