Louis Harvey of East Newport Cycle Speedway Club, became the Club's first ever British Individual Champion, winning the British Under 13's Championship.
 
The East End youngster, sped though his semi-final with a faultless maximum, to make his way to his second British Final in 2 years.
 
Louis turned in a performance beyond his years to win a thrilling final at Kesgrave, edging out Matt Haddock from Wednesfield. Third place went to defending champion Matt Mildon from Poole after a run off with Stockport 2006 rider Jake Read.
 
A spokesman from the Club said "After last year's disappointment when Louis was well in contention to finish in the top 3 of the u13 before machinery failure, it is fantastic news. It just goes to show that he was well focused for this which was his last chance to win the British under 13 Individual Championship, as next year he will be racing in the u16 category. Everyone connected with the Club would like to congratulate Louis on this fantastic achievement."
