Skipper Aaron Summers believes Redcar Bears can continue the upturn in form shown at the end of last week by taking points off play-off hopefuls Scunthorpe when they visit the Eddie Wright Raceway this afternoon (3pm).
The Ecco Finishing Bears took four points from Sheffield in their back-to-back matches last Thursday and Friday and this week face home and away clashes with the Lincolnshire outfit, against whom they have have a mixed record.
Today the Teessiders line-up without number one Richard Lawson, who is committed to racing for Elite League side Lakeside Hammers.
So they bring in another former Bears favourite Ulrich Ostergaard as a guest and Summers feels the inclusion of the vastly experienced Dane, who only left the South Tees Motorsports Park during the winter, will not significantly decrease the Bears fire-power.
“We’ve won at Scunthorpe before this season so we can do it again,” insists the 25-year old Australian, who is now Redcar’s longest-serving rider.
“Scunthorpe have hit a bit of form recently and have David Howe (an ex-England International) down at reserve now, but Jan (Graversen) can score well for us at reserve so we’ll certainly go and give it our best.
“I think Ulrich will be out to prove a point - he got left out of the team this year and has been riding well for his new club Peterborough.”
SCORPIONS: Josh Auty, Ashley Birks, Ryan Douglas, David Howe, Thomas Jorgensen, Nicolai Klindt, Matt Williamson.
BEARS: Jan Graversen, Rafal Konopka, Mark Lemon, Ulrich Ostergaard (guest),Hugh Skidmore, Aaron Summers, Carl Wilkinson.
Duffill, Skidmore, Bears promoter Brian Havelock and son and former world champion Gary appear at a special speedway forum, hosted by the North Yorkshire Road Racing Supporters Club, at the Golden Lion Hotel in Northallerton tomorrow (8pm).
