Teesside Transporters' season roared into life with a stunning 47-43 victory at Wednesfield, their first ever top-flight win.
Teesside have come close on countless occasions claiming a number of draws but have always missed out, but they put that right at the Kingo Arena - which has never seen its colours lowered before.
The Transporters had King's Lynn's Tibor Nemecek guesting for Hans E Bergestol and he did a splendid job with 11 - but the whole top five delivered, and new Brazilian signing Lucio Vilanova was delighted to claim a second in his opening race.
Team boss Graeme Bailey said: "If our top-five ride like that, we will be a match for any team - Tibor was great with Luke at 5, then Hans, Jack and Bjorn backed them up brilliantly.
"Eugene had no look, engine problems which was a shame as he has started the season well. Lucio showed up well and was well on the pace and he has so much to come, we are excited for him.
"We are just happy to open our account for the season, we didn't think it would come here at Wednesfield, a very tough place to come but we have to keep these levels up now."
