Corey Blackman

2004 Glasgow Scoring Record

Correy came to speedway very late, only getting on a bike in 1999 at the ripe old age of 23! He had previously had some involvement, being mechanic for Duke Ermolenko.

Deciding to give it a go, Corey came over to the UK in 2001 in the hope of getting somewhere but with no real plans. His early time was spent around Sheffield training track but he soon picked up a CL place with Carmarthen.

A year later Corey was riding PL with Exeter and his flamboyant nature made him very popular amongst the Exeter fans.

Although not one of the first choices, Corey was given the opportunity to ride for Glasgow this season at reserve and gladly accepted. His madcap nature will certainly make the pits an entertaining place although whether he has what it takes to succeed or even break even at this level remains to be seen.

Sadly things have not gone well for Corey at Glasgow, he has struggled to score point and the final blow came with an arson attack on his van as he was visiting a friend in Glasgow. Corey has now left the tigers and returned down south where he is riding once more at Conference League level for Weymouth..
