Hans E Bergestol began his testimonial season by winning his testimonial meeting over two legs against former promotion Sheffield Dons.
Bergestol has only ever ridden for Teesside and Sheffield - formerly Owlerton - and it was a fitting way for The Transporters to begin the season.
Teesside won the home leg 48-42 with the star of the night being Jack Hagen with an excellent paid 14, with Bregestol providing typical excellent support with paid 12.
World champion Luke Treadwell had a mixed night on his debut with a few bike problems, but he also won a heat and reserve Eugene Burkes showed up well.
In South Yorkshire, it was 46-44 with Hagen again top-scoring but this time there was plenty of support throughout as Teesside almost snatched an away win.
Team boss Graeme Bailey was very happy with his side's first run out and said: "It was always going to be tough, Sheffield have former Teesside riders McChesney and Bartousek, who were always going to do well.
"It was a great way to start the season and we always love coming up again Andy and his team's - we enjoy our Yorkshire battles and look forward to having a challenge for Yorkshire's number one again.
"On track some riders had a few kinks to work out, but we looked strong throughout and it was a pleasing start to the season."
