The Ironopolis will run as the season ending finale - Teesside will run this week after getting agreement from a host of riders.
Boss Graeme Bailey had feared that he was too busy to put on the popular event, but he has made frantic negotiations to get the go-ahead.
"We are still waiting for final NSSPA say so, but we are hopeful as the riders want to compete.
"There are some great names coming in, world champion Luke Treadwell we are hoping will be riding - he has agreed and we are just waiting for his club, same with Gomozov, who loves riding on Teesside.
"Again we have some great talent from around Europe. From champions Stockholm there is Gote Nordvall and new GP ace Rudi Jurtizen from Oslo. We also are looking forward to 16-year-old Petr Marko coming in.
"Former Teesside riders Petr Verner and Roberto Asanovic will also mix it with their old team-mates to give some real interest."

Gote Nordvall (Stockholm Scorpions)
Reznik Baluch (Bratislava Buzzards)
