Tonight’s only match was at Reading where the Racers raced against Redcar in a Premier League match.
Premier League: Reading 57, Redcar 35.
With Nicki Glanz having been signed on a 28 day contract as injury cover for Danny Warwick, Reading were at full strength as were Redcar.
This was the first match in Redcar’s two match mini southern tour with the second tomorrow night on the Isle of Wight. The two sides were tied after two races but after that the Racers pulled away steadily to win comfortably as the Bears failed to record a single heat advantage.
Gary Havelock led the Bears to a fine race win in heat 1 passing Mark Lemon off the second bend on lap 2. Chris Mills finished third to share the points then Nicki Glanz and Jaimie Smith led from the gate in the reserves race. However Josh Auty and Arlo Bugeja passed Smith for another shared heat but the Racers stepped up a gear in the following heats. Ulrich Ostergaard won heat 3 while James Grieves contained Tomas Suchanek who finished behind him for a 4-2 then Tom P Madsen and Nicki Glanz led heat 4 until Ty Proctor passed Glanz on the third bend for another 4-2 which took the score to 14-10.
Ulrich Ostergaard passed Gary Havelock on the second lap to win heat 5 while Havelock then had his work cut out to keep ahead of Tomas Suchanek for Reading’s third 4-2 on the trot. They added a 5-1 in heat 6. Mark Lemon and Chris Mills made the gate to team ride round ahead of Josh Auty opening a ten point gap between the teams. As a result James Grieves took a TR in heat 7 but found himself trailing Tom P Madsen and Jaimie Smith from the gate. He passed Smith on the third lap and his second place resulted in a 4-4 shared race. Heat 8 was shared too after a rerun caused by Nicki Glanz falling after contact with Arlo Bugeja. Chris Mills won the second running of the heat taking the score to 30-20.
Reading pulled further away when Ulrich Ostergaard won for the third time while Tomas Suchanek rode a good inside line to pass Josh Auty and Ty Proctor for a 5-1. Mark Lemon and Chris Mills threatened to add another 5-1 in heat 10 but James Grieves passed Mills for second place restricting the Racers’ advantage to a 4-2 and 16 point lead. Heat 11 produced another 4-2 for the home side with Tom P Madsen beating Gary Havelock and Jaimie Smith getting up to pass Joni Keskinen on the line. Ostergaard won heat 12 but Grieves and Auty finished behind him for a 3-3 which took the score to 46-28.
A comfortable win for Gary Havelock in heat 13 was Redcar’s first race winner since he won heat 1. It was only good enough for a shared heat though as Tom P Madsen and Mark Lemon filled the minor places. Heat 14 resulted in a 5-1 for the Racers when Suchanek and Smith gated to head Daniel Giffard home for a 22 point lead but Gary Havelock recorded his third heat win of the evening by winning heat 15 to deny Ulrich Ostergaard his maximum. Tom P Madsen took third from James Grieves so the Bears finished the meeting without a single race advantage.
