SCORPIONS’ BIG SEASON OPENER

SCUNTHORPE promoter Rob Godfrey is relishing the prospect of the club’s season opener against holders Redcar in the BSN Series this Sunday.

The Scorpions have rebuilt after a tough 2025 and now track the spectacular Josh Pickering as their out-and-out No.1.

Godfrey said: “There’s been other meetings in the UK, but our fixture against Redcar is the first official meeting of the season – the serious stuff starts at the Eddie Wright Raceway on Sunday.

“I’m hoping plenty of fans will be in attendance, especially given the family-friendly start-time of 3pm.

“It’s been a long winter and, for many, this will be their first meeting of the season.

“We’ve put 2025 behind us, and the club is looking forward to an exciting 2026 season. There’s a buzz around the team after our press and practice on Saturday.

“The whole of the Cab Direct Championship is so competitive this year – it’s impossible to pick a winner and it’s going to be a thrilling year.”
