Cameron Woodward now also confirmed for this.

Richard Hall was absolutely fantastic i thought, rode lines only matt t has rode round here. Thoroughly deserved win. Howe was alot better than i thought too, and while Lindgren was awesome when he gated, the one race he didnt gate was nowhere really. Havvy did well, although for me Chris was th best Bear. Looked great and will be a top, top rider next year in my opinion. Some fantastic racing tonight i though ,a joy to watch.

definitely on according to redcar forum earlier

Someone from the Redcar forum has rang the track and they have said its definitely on.

taken from our local paper, the Evening Gazette : Pocket rocket Joe Haines is celebrating his first speedway trophy after being crowned British Under-15 champion. Now the pint-sized Cleveland Bays starlet has his sights on going right to the very top. Haines, who turned 15 last month, has been a revelation in the Conference Shield this year, scoring double figures in all but one appearance for the South Bank-based Bays - and on the other occasion he recorded a paid maximum! Story continues ADVERTISEMENT He went into Saturday's final round of the British Under-15 Championship at South Tees Motorsports Park with a two-point lead over nearest challenger Ben Hopwood in the aggregate standings. And he duly completed the job on his home track, even coming from behind to beat Hopwood in the final. "It's brilliant," said Haines, who is rated one of the hottest young prospects in speedway. "Ben beat me once when I missed the start but beat him in the final." Among the spectators at Saturday's meeting was Redcar Bears captain Gary Havelock, who won the 1992 world championship. Now Haines believes he can follow in Havvy's tyretreads by winning the sport's richest prize after cutting his speedway teeth on Teesside. "If I didn't think I was going to become world champion, I wouldn't be doing it," said Haines. "It's no good coming second - winning is what it's all about." Haines scored 11 points from his four programmed rides on Saturday, losing only to Hopwood in his second outing. That was good enough to put him straight through to the final, along with Hopwood who scored ten. Adam Wrathall and George Piper made up the quartet in the final, but it was always going to be about Haines and Hopwood. Hopwood trapped the quickest but Haines had the measure of him, roaring past on the first lap and stayed in front. Next year there will be a 250cc British Championship for the young guns too, enabling our hottest young prospects to compete at an even younger age. The riders will use purpose-built Jawa engines and the initiative should put British riders on an even keel with their counterparts in Scandinavia where youth speedway has long since flourished. The 80cc engines used to such good effect by youngsters in Sweden and Denmark are no longer made, so the introduction of a 250cc championship over here will level the playing field. Fans at South Tees Motorsports Park on Saturday were given a glimpse of the future in the form of seven non-championship 250cc races. All were won by 12-year-old Marc Owen in some style - watch for the name in a few years! Cleveland Bays' final match of the season at home to Buxton Hitmen has been rescheduled for Thursday, October 26. It had been due to take place this Thursday, but that is when the Bears' rained off Tyne Tees Trophy first leg against Newcastle will now take place.

you watching the same race? Lyons cut across him ,Havvy was leading by a couple of bike lengths when it happened. Looked a very nasty tumble though and hope heis not too badly hurt. Zorro was by far and away the best rider on the night, absolutely awesome. Havvy did well enough, always on the pace but couldnt seem to gate. Heat 11 was fantastic by him though. Well done Zorro!

Silver helmet indivudal at Redcar on the 18th October

Joe was very quick indeed, about 1 second away from some of the times in the main meeting, very impressive indeed.

taken from updates on Redcar board: Second half match results ( was a bit confusing so apologies here ) Buffalos v Cobras H1 - Tai Woffinden, Joe Haines, Brendan Johnson, greg Blair, 4-2 55.8 H2 - James Sergeant, James Patterson, James Cartmell, Rusty Dougan, 2-4, 6-6, 62.5 H3 Joe Haines, James Patterson Woffinden (dnf), Cartnell (dns) 2-3, 8-9, 56.2 Cartnell looped at start, ref said all four back but Cartnell withdrew. NAsty looking fall but walked off track. Woffinden led but seemed to pull over to let other lads through and did not finish. H4 - Greg Blair, Brendan Johnson, James Sergeant, Rusty Dougan - 2-4, 10-13, 58.7 H5 - Greg Blair, James Sergeant - James Patterson, Rusty Dougan - 1-5, 11-18, 58.1 H6 - Joe Haines, Brendan Johnson, Greg Blair, James Sergeant - 2-4 ,13-22, 56.2 Entertaining second half, Haines a class above as expected but 12 year old (?) James Sergeant did very well ,great from the gate especially! Well done to all! Brednan Johnson did well as well once he got to grips with the track, looked very good in last heat. Was a pleasure to watch them all and hope to see them back up here soon.

Fantastic news that, have been very impressed with him when he has had rides in the second half. Obviously hard to judge how quick he is riding on his own but looks very good. Is this confirmed anywhere?

how did Greg Blair look? Seen him ride a few second halfs as well and was coming on in leaps and bounds until he got an injury.

thanks for that, didnt think he was old enough to sign for a club but was just wondering if he had any close links to clubs. Great to hear that there is even a slight possibility of him ending up with us at some point, has looked very good when i have seen him.

Hi, Anybody got any information about Joe Haines? Has rode in the last couple of second halfs at Redcar and has looked very impressive. He tied up to a contract anywhere? Ben Hopwood has also been in the last couple and looked very good too, both very promising riders indeed. Thanks

Absolutely fantastic meeting. Pretty much everything that could happen could, best meeting ive seen on TV for a very long time. Great to see the Brits do so well, thought we would struggle a bit but rode fantastically.
