Stockport staged the opening round of the new Northern Individual Grand Prix series on a wet Sunday. The Stockport circuit was notoriously slimey in the wet, making conditions difficult for the riders, with slippery starting grids adding to the situation. Ben Dickenson and Jason Elliott both reached the U-16 Grand Prix Final, with Ben finishing third after a fall and Jason excluded for moving at the start. Remi Burchardt raced unbeaten in the Senior qualifiers, with Tomasz Wlodarczyk droppping just one point to Remi. In the Grand Prix Final, Remi drew the graveyard grid 1, spun right round and finished third. Tomasz came round from grid 4 and chased the race leader, Darren Kent of Heckmondwike, for three laps, before pulling off a fine pass to go round Kent on the last lap to take the win. Mike Hack finished fourth in the Veterans Grand Prix Final, whilst Joel Partington didn't register in time and wasn't allowed to compete in the U-13s category.
