Ty Proctor is sure that Workington Comets will make the SGB Championship play-offs despite facing a huge fixture backlog.
Comets have struggled for consistency this season due to regular rain-offs but the Australian racer is confident that the team will eventually reach the top four.
Proctor said: "I still think we can push for the play-offs and if we keep picking up points and a couple of wins away we will be in the mix; it's realistic.
"The amount of meetings we have had, we're in the teens while other teams are in the mid-20s.
"If we can find consistency there's no reason we can't make the play-offs.
"It's just whether all seven of us keep clicking like we have been.
"We're going to have pick up some big wins away from home.
"My form's increasing and you get what you get from Cookie.
"The jump for Matt Williamson has been hard but he's been working really hard at it and I think he's doing his job.
"If we all just do our jobs we will be up there.
"For sure we want to keep winning at home, that's important.
"Scunthorpe on Saturday, no meeting is easy but hopefully we can get a good start and bang in some points."
The 30-year-old originally signed to ride for Comets last season but dropped out before the start of the campaign.
He was handed a second bite at the cherry by the club and has repaid that faith by rediscovering the form which made him one of the league's leading riders before a lengthy enforced break due to injuries and visa issues.
Double-figure scores in four of his last five meetings show Proctor is settling back into his groove and he admitted it has come as a relief to be back on track after so long watching from a distance.
"The two years that I had out were obviously hard but I told the club when I signed that it was going to take me a bit of time to find my feet again," he said.
"We're really talking about four years where I hadn't really ridden because I was injured before that.
"Things are slowly starting to work out.
"I'm really happy, I'm enjoying my time at Workington."
Comets came agonisingly close to a fifth Premier League Fours title last season when they were edged out by Plymouth in the final heat.
And although Proctor acknowledged it will be tough in this year's competition on Sunday, he will be targeting another good finish with Craig Cook, Thomas Jorgensen and Mason Campton at Peterborough.
"Obviously I don't know much about last year but I think the Fours is going to be hard," he said.
"There are some really good teams in it but we'll go and have a crack."
