A very special moment took place at Mildenhall Speedway this evening as Danny Ayres partner Jodie, his father David and his Auntie Vicki presented 2021 Fen Tiger Sam Bebee with Danny's first ever engine to use this season. Bought for Danny by his mother it was named Dorothy after his Grandma. A carb has also been supplied and the engine will be serviced by Danny's engine tuner Sean Wilson.

Jodie explained that coming back to speedway had been very hard for the family and that this gave them a link back into the sport at their local club and an interest for the season ahead. 

Also present was Darren Grimwood, who was Danny's mechanic and is carrying out the same role for Sam this year, and sponsor Shaun Raven. Shaun has just completed the three peaks challenge in memory of Danny and has so far raised £775.00 for the Mind Charity, a charity very close to the families heart.

The just giving page remains open for anyone wishing to support this charity - Shaun Raven is fundraising for Mind (justgiving.com)
