Comment now on the latest news at the Forum THE X-TRACTOR Bridgwater has what it takes to host GP Bridgwater have been named hosts of a round of the Grand Prix Series for the first time as Sedgemoor were overlooked for a second successive season. The Rebels with their huge 72,000+ arena will no doubt be back in favour next year, when they’ll be firm favourites to host a GP for a record extending sixth time, but in SL28 they’ll have to make do with staging one of the two final qualifying rounds. As no round of the series staged in this country has ever attracted a crowd in excess of the 22,000 capacity Tractor Racing Arena, the Baboons stadium was deemed to have ticked the minimum criteria box, the allocation of the ‘British GP’ in SL28 a fitting way for them and their promoter Steven Potter to celebrate their tenth season in the sport. The European GP round has been handed to Whitemoor, whose Sheepcroft Stadium has a capacity of 35,000 and previously staged a round in the series back in SL24. Rugby get a second round tie, while Plymouth, Bolsover and Wordsley will all host first round meetings. Other big winners in this weeks meeting allocations include Glasshoughton and March, who are set to stage the British Final and Division One Riders Championship respectively. The first piece of club silverware of SL28 will be awarded at Loughton, hosts of the Pairs Final, which takes place in the second month of the new campaign. On the track there was a first defeat of the warm-ups for Newport Pagnell, they surprising losing at home to second tier Netherton, who as a result top the pre-season form guide. Success too for Netherton on the individual front, their teenager Tyler Pennington (14) landing the BU19 title at Smethwick after a race-off win over Charlie Richardson.
