Full set of riders now announced. It seems a bit strange to have Elite League riders and National League riders in same event. I suppose it will be good experience for the youngsters even if tailed off at the back.

 

Could always be running the rule over riders for the future.

 

Just a thought.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Somerset Open was always held late in the season when more riders were free, and past winners included Jason Crump and Scott Nicholls.

 

Your memory does not serve you correct as you are totally wrong...the past winners were:

 

2000 - Adam Allott

2001 - James Mann

2002 - David Howe

2003 - David Ruud

 

You are getting the Somerset Open confused with various testimonial meetings, Jason Crump won the Glenn Cunningham Testimonial & Scott Nicholls won the Graeme Gordon Testimonial.

This looks to have the potential to be good meeting with riders taken from all three leagues

Chance for some of the lesser lights to put them selves in the shop window

I think I'm right in saying, it was held on occasions the night before the GP at Cardiff.

 

Used to be quite a star studded line up, with Sam Ermolenko riding and breaking the track record in 2002 from memory.

You are correct . 2002 or 2003 we ended up at one of these meetings when our league match at Newport was rained off . And it was the night before Cardiff .

Personally i think Heff should be rested from this, he's still struggling with his Rib injury. Im sure the promotion could get somebody else as good to fill in.

Hi Statman how are you? You are correct as always, Dave T has already corrected me, memory fades as you get older.
