Halifax Dukes return on Easter Sunday

HALIFAX DUKES will return to action in the second half at Scunthorpe’s Eddie Wright Raceway on Easter Sunday (April 16).

The preceding Scunthorpe v Redcar Championship fixture will commence at 3pm, and will be followed with a SCB-approved Youth Challenge between Scunthorpe Stags and Halifax Dukes.

“Of course, the 500cc will be racing each other, and likewise with the 250cc riders.
