Denzil William Kent (born 26 October 1961) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from Zimbabwe.[1] [2] [3]
Kent started his British leagues career during the 1979 National League season, but only rode a handful of times for Oxford and Glasgow.[3] [4] The following season he signed for Canterbury Crusaders and rode the entire season recording an average of 6.64.[3]
During the 1981 National League season he improved his average to 7.75, to finish 2nd in the Crusaders averages behind teammate and fellow Zimbabwean Mike Ferreira, who was the leagues top scorer.[3] The pair went on to win the National League Pairs that season.[5]
He continued to ride for Canterbury and topped the team's averages after the 1983 National League season. He also rode a few times for Eastbourne Eagles, in the top division called the British League at the time. His final season in Britain was with Eastbourne for the 1984 season.[3]
