Workington Comets legend and all-time record appearance holder Carl Stonehewer will make a special appearance at Rusty Harrisons testimonial.

Carl Stonehewer

The 41-year-old has been invited as a guest at Harrisons aptly named Rustys Didgeri Do at Derwent Park on April 5.

It is understood that Stonehewer will not be riding.

Harrison, 32, said: I rode with Carl for many years. He was a well respected rider, person and a Comets legend.

It will be great to get him up. It should be a good night.

Harrison is the Comets second all-time record appearance holder. He has competed in 325 races for Workington 36 behind Stonehewer.

Stonehewer rode for Comets from 1999 to 2005 and then returned for a year in 2007.

Harrison added: When I first started with Comets, Carl was more or less on the top of his game. He was someone I really looked up to.
