Grand Prix star Greg Hancock has confirmed his intention to ride in Billy Hamill's farewell meeting ay Monmore Green on March 22.

Californians Hancock and Hamill were a hugely successful pairing for Cradley Heath and Coventry, and are looking forward to rolling back the years.

"Greg and I go back to when we were kids together," said Hamill.

"I'm sure a lot of people will want to come and see him ride in Wolverhampton as he remains a popular rider."

Peter and I also go back a long way. Even though we were opponents for a big part of our career, we've also become good friends

The Americans will be joined in the Monmore field by up-and-coming Wolves riders Tai Woffinden and Nicolai Klindt as well as team skipper Peter Karlsson.

"Peter and I also go back a long way. Even though we were opponents for a big part of our career, we've also become good friends," added Hamill.

"And both Tai and Nicolai have massive futures ahead of them. I don't doubt that. The line-up is shaping up nicely."
