Ian Douglas Turner (born 10 October 1949) is a former motorcycle speedway rider[1] from England.[2] [3]
On 14 July 1971, Turner won the British Speedway Under 21 Championship, held at the Abbey Stadium in Swindon.[4] [5] While riding for King's Lynn in 1973 he broke his arm in a crash.[6]
Turner reached the final of the British Speedway Championship in 1979.[2] [7] He rode in the top tier of British Speedway from 1969 to 1980, riding primarily for King's Lynn Stars.[8] [9]
He retired in 1980 but was tempted back to ride a few matches for Boston Barracudas by promoter, Cyril Crane. Ian appeared in about 12 meetings, with a final appearance against Mildenhall Fen Tigers when he scored maximum points from five rides.
Post speedway, Ian drove lorries for a living and rode a Harley for a hobby. He has lived in Spalding since 1971.
