With a handful of race meetings under his belt thus far in the 2016-17 season, Talon Humphrey has had a solid start to his Junior Quarter Midgets debut, with the racer having already shown good confidence on the track.
Currently contesting his first season of competitive racing, the eight-year-old racer has been able to step straight into the Novice A class, rather than first joining Novice B, after showing good confidence and maturity from the moment he hit the track.

Third-generation racer Jayden Lock is carrying on his family’s speedway racing tradition, currently contesting his fourth season in the Junior Quarter Midgets 120cc Open class.
Following in the footsteps of his dad Murray, who previously raced Wingless Sprints and is crew chief for his brother (Jayden’s uncle) Phil Lock, who is currently racing 360 Sprintcars, the 10-year-old racer has a rich speedway pedigree, with his grandfather Jim Lock also having raced in the Sportsman class in the 1970s and 80s. What an excellent turn out of cars and spectators we had yesterday with 20 racing cars in total certainly all put on outstanding performances through out the day in warmer conditions.
