The Vortex Hammers will start their 2016 season with a Spring Trophy Individual meeting on Friday March 18th.

The meeting will include the 2016 Hammers squad, plus invited riders including Lewis Bridger and Swedish newcomer Dennis Jonsson, son of former World Champion Per Jonsson.

As has become the tradition in recent seasons, the clubs supporters will be given the ‘run’ of The Arena Essex Raceway for the day, with pre-meeting access to the track itself, the pits and the referees box. A rider signing session, where fans can snap their favourite stars, will also take place and a limited number of places to watch races from the centre green during the meeting will be available.

Further details regarding the event will follow, whilst admission prices have been confirmed as Adults £15, Concessions £10 and kids up to the age of 16, free of charge. Tickets will be available at the turnstiles on the night, and shortly via the clubs on-line ticket store.

Hammers Co-Promoter Jon Cook commented

“Our intention is to make this a night when the fans and the riders come together, to set us up for the season ahead. We came through a great deal of problems last season to make it this far and we’ll go into the new season stronger because of it.

This is a unique chance for fans to get behind the scenes, and for the riders to get worthwhile track time, as we prepare for the start of league racing.”
