Following the original announcement during Saturday’s match against King’s Lynn, the Rye House promotion has reviewed its options in terms of suitable opposition and decided NOT to schedule a meeting at Hoddesdon on October 25th.

This Saturday’s (October 18th) Ace of Herts individual championship will therefore be the club’s 2008 season finale. 

Tommy Allen will defend the title he won last year in the big individual season regular at Rye House. The Tommy Gun will face stiff opposition from the rest of the Silver Ski Rockets, while the twelve man field will also include Elite League Coventry star and international Lion Olli Allen and Stuart Robson, who has followed up his racing comeback in the Chris Neath Testimonial meeting by posting two race wins and eight points in Saturday’s Neil Collins Farewell at Stoke. Invitations have also gone out to, amongst others, former Rocket Danny King and Reading’s Ulrich Ostergaard, who is 3rd in this year’s national Premier League averages.

The racing will be followed by a 20 minute long giant firework display, which has become a part of the end-of-season tradition at Rye. The 2008 Mr Rocket and Mr Cobra awards will also be presented in the bar afterwards, as the team members say their farewells to the campaign.
