The 1994 British League Division Three was the third tier/division of British speedway. It was also the final season of the British League before a restructure of the sport.[1] [2]
Four new teams entered the league; the first was Cleveland Bays, who shared Cleveland Park Stadium with division 2 parent club Middlesbrough Bears. The second was the Hi-Edge Hitmen, co-promoted by former England rider Chris Morton and based at Buxton Raceway.[3] The other two teams were teams that would race on tracks that were formerly training circuits; Scottish team Linlithgow Lightning based at Heathersfield Stadium,[4] [5] and Iwade Kent Crusaders, who would later withdraw from the league at the end of July.[6]
The title was won by Berwick Bandits. [7] [8]
