GLASGOW boss Cami Brown is expecting a “breathtaking” start to the season with the Ben Fund Bonanza.
The first meeting of the campaign will be the individual with top names at Ashfield Stadium on Saturday, March 28 at 6pm.
It’s a strong line-up with the likes of former Grand Prix winners Tigers No.1 Harris and Berwick star Peter Kildemand plus current Glasgow riders Kyle Howarth, Leon Flint, Kevin Juhl Pedersen and Sam Hagon.
They are joined by other big names Tom Brennan, Nick Morris, Justin Sedgmen, Ben Barker, Dan Thompson, Tate Zischke, Danny King, Dan Gilkes and Victor Palovaara.
Brown said: “This is going to be an exciting start to the season at Ashfield. The line-up of riders will make it a very interesting event.
“Obviously fans are excited to get the season underway, it’s been a long winter.
“But this is a field with riders who know Ashfield really well and give 100 per cent. Chris Harris, Peter Kildemand, Kyle Howarth, Ben Barker, Danny King, Tom Brennan and Nick Morris are highly-regarded for their never-say-die racing.
“Chris probably starts the meeting as a slight favourite but I wouldn’t want to predict the outcome. It’s just destined to be a breathtaking event. Ashfield always delivers outstanding action.
“We are expecting a big crowd and fans will be eager to see such a battling field of riders give it everything.
“I’m also interested to see how the Glasgow boys get on. It’s vital track time before our first home team meeting on April 17.
“This is all for such a great cause. The Speedway Riders’ Benevolent Fund is a remarkable charity which has been helping riders for decades.”
