TEAM boss Cami Brown praised his side for a “massive” comeback home win over Redcar.
The Allied Vehicles Tigers beat the Teessiders 48-42 in a hard fought Cab Direct Championship clash at Ashfield on Friday night.
Brown’s team came from eight points down to snatch the result in the final three races in dramatic style.
He said: “This is a massive win for us over a very tough Redcar side.
“They always ride Ashfield really well so we knew we were in for a really hard meeting.
“It did look like we had left ourselves a lot to do. When we went eight points down for a second time, we had a team meeting and knew we had to step it up. Our season probably rested on the outcome of the final four heats.
“The boys responded magnificently. Leon Flint was sensational with 16, Chris Harris was his normal incredible self.
“Special mention for our guests again. The 5-1 from Nick Morris and Reid Battye in Heat 12 swung the meeting back in our favour.
“Kevin Juhl Pedersen then popped up with a vital win in Heat 14 with Reid getting third to get us almost over the line.
“We left it very late again and that’s the third successive meeting we’ve done that.
“It was breathtaking and not great for the blood pressure, it was great entertainment, great racing and a wonderful finish.
“But ultimately, we have to improve. We can’t be that sluggish and weak in certain areas.
“It’s been a really hard few weeks losing Kyle Howarth and Mario Hausl but we are doing our best to cover them with guests.
“All the boys got stuck in tonight. I’m proud of what they have done and now we are only one or two wins away from booking our place in the play-offs.
“We’ve shown some real grit and character over the past two weeks to get results at Edinburgh and now beat Redcar so we are now in a strong position in the table.”
