SAM MASTERS FOR AUSTRALIAN SPEEDWAY CENTENARY

Former Australian Champion, 32 year old, Newcastle born, Sam Masters, is the latest international rider to be added to the field, for the Ikon Suspension 500cc Solo Centurion Classic.

Masters will appear on night two (December 29), of the upcoming Australian Speedway Centenary, at North Brisbane Speedway. His inclusion further boosts what is already a world class field being assembled for the high profile Centennial event.

He has also ridden for Poole, King’s Lynn, Edinburgh, Leicester, Wolverhampton and Oxford. The Novocastrian also boasts an extensive resume racing in Poland, Sweden and Denmark.

“The Australian Speedway Centenary is shaping up well and it will be a true honour to ride in the event,” Masters said.

“Who wouldn’t want to be a part of the sport’s 100 year celebration? I’m going to North Brisbane to race hard and give a good account of myself. I’ll be ready come December 29!”
