Buxton Hitmen

[1][2][3][4] In 1994, a team called Hi-Edge Hitmen began racing on the Buxton Raceway.

Promoted by Barry Watson and former England rider Chris Morton,[5] the team's inaugural season was in the 1994 British League Division Three in which they finished in sixth place.

[14] The remainder of the decade was spent in mid-table positions, with the highlight being the Riders' Championship successes by James Wright in 2004[15] Adam Roynon in 2006[16] and Craig Cook in 2009.

[18] The treble winning team included riders such as Craig Cook, Nick Morris, Robert Branford and Jason Garrity.

The Hitmen struggled to compete in the league in the following years, finishing last in 2016 and enduring a disastrous campaign during 2018.
