After barely a year in charge, Middlesborough based National League coordinator Jason Pipe has relinquished his position having unexpectedly been offered the team manager's post with Newcastle Diamonds.
With the new season less than a month away, the speedway authorities have a rush job on their hands seeking a replacement.
Wightlink Warriors co-promoters Barry Bishop and Martin Widman worked closely with Pipe to ensure a meaningful season of racing was put in place for 2020 and will now be keen to find out who will take up the vacancy.
