The Season of High Speed motorcycle racing continues on Britain’s fastest raceway on Thursday with e staging of the GT140 Island Masters with no less than 22 top competitors lined up including last year’s 2023 GT140 Island Masters Winner Ian Clark.


Clark’s list of results is as good as you can get and no doubt the 2023 ACU British GT140 Champion, 2023 GT140 Gold Cup Winner and Former Peterborough Panthers Speedway rider back in the late 70s. Is once again one of the favourites?


Chuck in Kevin Gwillam 2nd in 2023 British GT140 Grasstrack Championship and Podium finisher at the IOW GT140 Winter Warmer Events.


Plus Wayne Broadhurst IOW GT140 Winter Warmer Winner in December 2023 and January 2024, Former Speedway rider for Coventry, Wolverhampton and Poole.


Then just to make it even juicier add Mark Chessell Former Speedway rider back in the 80s, Previous lap recorder holder round the IOW on a 500. Always likely to be pushing the front runners on the GT140's.


And then there is Steve Newsham 3rd in 2023 GT140 Island Masters. Former ACU British 500 Upright Grasstrack Champion.


It really is a top class line up in which any of the riders could spoil the party and come up trumps.

As well as the main event, there is also Speedway racing with the Wizards taking on Cradley Heathens in a development match, plus the usual junior racing (from 6.15pm).


It all adds up to a great night's entertainment and is sure to have something for everyone.
