2003 Australian Individual Speedway Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2003 Australian Individual Speedway Championship was the 2003 version of the Australian Individual Speedway Championship organised by Motorcycling Australia. The final was held at the Gosford Speedway in Gosford, New South Wales and was the last time the championship was run under the single meeting format that had been in place since the first championship was run in 1926.[1]

Defending champion Leigh Adams of Victoria was unbeaten over his 5 heats and the final, to win his 7th Australian senior championship, breaking the record of six wins by Billy Sanders. New South Wales riders Craig Watson, Todd Wiltshire and Mick Poole rounded out the top four point scorers to advance to the final. The final was won by Adams from Wiltshire, Watson and Poole.[2]
