BEN FUND GOES LIVE

BEN Fund Bonanza organisers have confirmed that for the second year running, the meeting will be livestreamed by the British Speedway Network.

The event takes place at Workington this Saturday (March 16) at 2pm, with stream coverage starting at 1.30pm, with cost set at £14.99.

SRBF Chairman Paul Ackroyd said: “BSN did a great job for us last year and it was a great way for people who can’t be at the event to still make a contribution to the fund for injured riders, as well as enjoying the meeting of course.

“We are very happy with the arrangement and very grateful.”

In addition to the main 16-rider individual event, the afternoon will also feature women’s heats and British Youth races.

SRBF Secretary Stephanie Babb said: “We are privileged to have the opportunity of welcoming Pippa Laverty from the FIM to Workington along with four of the UK’s women speedway riders who will be racing three heats during the meeting.

“We will again be supporting Neil Vatcher’s British Youth, with four of the 125cc riders taking part in two demonstration races.”
