Report
CONNOR Bailey is the new Redcar track record holder with the Bears securing an impressive 58-32 home win over Edinburgh in the Cab Direct Championship.
On a night of fast racing at the ECCO Arena, Monarchs skipper Josh Pickering lowered his own record in Heat 4 before British Under-21 Champion Bailey went one-tenth faster in Heat 9.
It was a convincing performance from the home side who are up to fourth in the table, with Charles Wright (11+1), Danyon Hume (11+1), Bailey (10+1) and Danny King (10+1) all in double figures.
The Monarchs remain in sixth place and looking over their shoulders after a disappointing night with Pickering (14) dominating their scoring, whilst Paco Castagna returned from injury with eight.
Edinburgh boss John Campbell said: “It was very disappointing indeed, we should be far better than that.
“All we can say is that Josh had a good night and Paco made a decent return after his time out with injury. That was it.”
