David Blackburn (speedway rider)

David Blackburn is a British former speedway rider who competed primarily in the United Kingdom between the late 1970s and the early 1990s. He rode for several teams throughout his career, including but not limited to, the Rye House Rockets, Canterbury Crusaders, and Arena Essex Hammers. While never reaching the very top tier of British speedway, Blackburn was a consistent performer and a reliable team member for many years. Information on specific league averages or major trophy wins during his career is scarce, suggesting he was primarily a solid second or third heat leader rather than a superstar. His career highlights likely include contributing to team successes and maintaining a long and respected presence in the sport. Detailed statistics and a comprehensive racing history would require further archival research.
