1996 Australian Individual Speedway Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1996 Australian Individual Speedway Championship was held at the Newcastle Showgrounds in Newcastle, New South Wales on 17 February 1996. The Newcastle Showgrounds had last hosted an Australian Solo Championship in 1927 when it was a ½ mile track and not the modern, 400 metres (440 yards) version.[1]

Sydney's Craig Boyce won his second national championship and his second with a 15-point maximum. Defending champion Jason Crump finished second after defeating Queensland's Tony Langdon in a runoff. Triple Australian Champion Leigh Adams and fellow Mildura rider Jason Lyons claimed the final two Overseas Final qualifying positions.[2][3]
