2006 First Annual Thanksgiving Speedway International Rider Lineup

The Thanksgiving Speedway Invitational will take place at the Mojave Crossing Event Center in Fort Mohave, Arizona on Saturday, November 25. The Mojave Crossing Event Center is located across the Colorado River from the Avi Casino. The gates will open at 6:00 p.m. and the event starts at 7:00. Participants and spectators please note that crossing the river means changing time zones. The event center is on Arizona time, while the Avi Casino is on Pacific time.

The USA Speedway sanctioned event will feature some of America's best speedway riders, including 1996 World Champion Billy "The Bullet" Hamill.

Former SRA National Champion Billy Janniro will be making his first U.S. appearance of 2006 and former National Champions Mike Faria, Charlie Venegas, and Scott Brant will also be racing. The event will have an international flavor with Australian Kevin Doolan in the lineup.
