Speedway: Bears star is right on track!

AS the dust settles on their incredible 60-33 win at Reading, Redcar Bears' Jack Young Shield heroes have a well-earned Thursday evening off tonight.

All except Arlo Bugeja, that is, as South Tees Motorsports Park stages a Stars of Tomorrow individual meeting (tapes up 7.30pm).

Bugeja scored paid eight against the Racers on Monday night as the TLS Bears roared into the Young Shield semi-finals with a stunning 112-73 aggregate victory.

And he will start as one of the favourites for tonight's prize, which will be contested over 12 heats, followed by two semi-finals and a final.

All four finalists will receive prize money thanks to meeting sponsors North-east Bearings and Transmission, Cleveland Clearwaste and the Bears Supporters' Group.

Likely to be one of the Coulby Newham-based Aussie's biggest rivals, however, will be Byron Bekker of Scunthorpe.

The South African finished second to Redcar's Benji Compton in the recent Conference League Riders' Championship at Rye House and has also been racing for Scunthorpe's Premier League team this term.

Another interesting name on the scorecard is Ben Hopwood.

The 17-year-old was on the verge of joining the TLS/Simpson Racing UK Cubs earlier this season but the deal broke down at the last moment.

Current Cubs riders Scott James, Gary Beaton and Richard Lawson are in the line-up too, along with team-mate Adam McKinna who has a CL maximum to his name this season.

Admission is £10 adults, £8 concessions and £5 season ticket holders. Children under 16 are admitted free and there will be no charge for the racecard.
