FULFORD School pupil Brad Jackson is bang right in the battle for the UK championship.

Backed again by Lucas Oil products and star senior rider Andy Carter, the teenager’s term started badly when he was last in the first round of eliminations at the Easter Thunderball at Santa Pod.

However, he then won the Big Bang at Santa Pod, and reached the semi-finals of the Springspeed National Championship to go third in the UK ratings ahead of this weekend’s meeting.
