VETERAN American Shawn McConnell has been
booked to ride in
Birmingham's 2008
curtain-raiser, the Alan Hunt Memorial Trophy,
at Perry Barr on
Sunday March
16.
The 48-year-old, who rode for the Brummies in 1983, hasn't competed
regularly
in Britain for more than 20 years. Brummies boss
Graham Drury said:
"Shawn is
desperate to race in the meeting,
but I said to him it will be
competitive
and I don't want to bring him
across just as a publicity stunt.
He's flying in from the States for our press day so he can get some
laps in
before the meeting. He has told me not to worry, he will be on the
pace and he
will be doing his very best to put on a show for the fans."
