Another day another rider unveil as we are now less than two weeks away till the tapes go up on our season launching Harrison’s Scottish Open Championship and that rider is Glasgow star Richard Lawson!

Richard is a top performer in the second tier of British Speedway having finished each of the last 3 seasons in the top 10 in the averages. Richard also made an impressive start to his 2017 season heading home a strong field to clinch the Ben Fund Bonanza meeting at Ashfield last week.

Lawson has one previous Open appearance scoring 7 points during the 2012 Open that was won by Andrew Tully it would be fair to say that Richard’s Armadale performance could be classed as inconsistent. He does have multiple double digit scorers to his name though and has taken the scalp of all the top Monarchs at one point or another. If he can replicate the form shown at that Ben Fund meeting then he will be another dark horse to carry the title west.

Richard’s rider sponsorship package is currently available. This includes recognition as a rider sponsor, admission for two to the Open, two match magazines, a DVD of the Championship and the specially-made racejacket that will be worn by Richard on the night, autographed by the man himself - all for just £120. Follow the link below to book this package now!

So 10 down 6 to go so look back at 10am tomorrow when we will announce the 11th rider who will be going after the famous Jack Young trophy.

Tickets are on sale now with sponsorship packages also available details of all can be found here for what is sure to be a hotly contested night of racing to raise the curtain on our 21st season at Armadale.
