MILDENHALL will open their 40th Anniversary season with the return of the Palmer Trophy - which last ran at West Row in 1981.

The event will take place on Sunday March 29 featuring a strong National League field, with a 24-heat programme to also incorporate the Bernie Klatt Memorial Trophy.

Promoter Kevin Jolly said: “I am so pleased that Derek and his son Greg Palmer have stepped forward as Main Sponsors for this meeting to open our 40th Anniversary season. The Palmer family name is synonymous with the early days of Mildenhall Speedway and both Robert Henry and I remember Derek well from our riding days with Mildenhall.

“We hope to make it a day to remember on and off the track and are actively seeking out ex-Fen Tigers to invite to the event.
