Hans E Bergestol - who is already Teesside's leading points scorer of all time - set another club record by scoring the most points ever in one meeting as he scored a superb paid 20 in The Transporters' 50-39 win over Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Dons.
The Dock Yard crowd cheered the hero home all evening and only saw him denied a maximum in the final heat. Bergestol, relishing his new role at reserve, bagged five heats win on the night as Teesside dominated for much of the meeting.
Russian star Denis Gomozov - a previous Ironopolis winner - continued to show his liking for the Dock Yard with a brilliant paid 13 as Teesside moved to second in the UL table.
Team boss Graeme Bailey: "This was a great team meeting, yes Hans and Denis were the stand-outs, everyone contributed and the fact we limited Sheffield to four heat wins, and a Sheffield team including former Teesside riders Braxton McChesney and Janek Bartousek, that shows how well we rode.
"The whole place is buzzing, and for Hans to almost go through the programme and only denied in the final heat, the crowd loved it. But what is not to love when we have Hagen, Gomozov and Bergestol flying.
"Hans breaking the record is brilliant for the club, but now we have to try and close the gap on Milton Keynes. We host The Cats in the final match of the season and our task now is to give ourselves a chance going into the final week.
"Our team changes have worked so far but there is a long way to go yet. We have the pairs too next week and Hans and Denis will be competing. We have opted to give Jack the week off, he has been busy recently in the World Under-21, World Pairs and the UL Riders' Championship - where he finished a fabulous fourth, so it is nice for him to have a break for a week."
