Scott Courtney admitted that Berwick Bandits 50th anniversary Spectacular meant a great deal to a lot of people.
The Grant Henderson Tankers-sponsored event attracted a big crowd and joint owner Courtney praised all riders despite difficult conditions.
Courtney said: “We couldn’t have wished for a better opening night. The rain caused us a few issues during the day, but we were confident that the track would sustain it and it did just.
“Saturday meant a lot to so many people associated with Berwick Speedway and I can’t thank everyone enough for their hard work and support.
“Speedway is a team effort in every way and I am very proud of what we achieved together (on Saturday).”
He also saluted home rider Claus Vissing and said: “He did a fantastic job taking the win on a points tally but I’d like to personally thank all the riders too. There were no complaints from the lads and everyone got stuck in.”
