Local British Championship stars also include Ipswich based James Cottrell, Lewis Tombs, Luke Benstead, Shaun Southgate, along with a number of local experts such as Brad Tomlin, Jason Morland and Luke Parker. With such a strong line up the racing is sure to be great.
While in the Juniors will be split into three groups featuring a number of up and coming riders including youth star Brett Pocock who is returning the Blaxhall venue after taking victory in last year’s 85cc class. With 120 Juniors all battling it out across three groups there is sure to be plenty of close racing.
