Shane's Octane Overdose
Posted 04/12/05

Whilst all the talk at the moment is of who can Glasgow sign for next season, last seasons captain Shane Parker held his 20th anniversary meeting over in Australia at the weekend with Glasgow co-promoter Gordon Pairman being one of those in attendance. We are grateful to Bryn Williams for providing us with the following details from a successful nights entertainment.

A few details for you:

The qualifying heats were followed by a five man final.

One of the highlights of the night (and trust me there were many!) was Troy Batchelor holding off Leigh Adams to inflict a rare Adams defeat. Batchelor had the inside gate and Adams the extreme outside but Batchelor earned the win by answering everything Adams threw at him.

Parks himself was in fine form too only lowering his colours to Adams both in a heat and in the final where he pushed Leigh hard for the full four laps.

Mathew Wethers deserves a mention for a determined ride in his last outing to record a win over Steve Johnston, Rory Schlein & Jason Lyons.

Schlein eased himself back into the swing of things in his first meeting back after his long lay through injury

Scores

L Adams 3,3,3,2 = 11
K Doolan 2,ret,2,1 = 5
R Schlein 0,2,3,1 = 6
C Gathercole 1,0,2,0 = 3
S Parker 2,3,3,3 = 11
T McGowan 1,2,2,2 = 7
S Johnston ret,3,1,2 = 6
A Summers 1,0,0,1 = 2
M Wethers 3,1,2,3 = 9
T Harding 1,0,1,1 = 3
J Lyons 2,1,2,0 = 5
T Batchelor 3,3,fx,3 = 9
R. Ksiezak 1,0,0,0 = 1

Final
Adams, Parker, Batchelor, McGowan, Wethers

In the "Young Guns" solos Ty Proctor and Scott James shared the spoils
with two wins apiece with Proctor's two seconds giving him the prize
for the overall winner. With Ksiezak elevated to the main event, he was replaced in the field by Daniel Warwick.

T Proctor 4,4,3,3 = 14
S James 2,2,4,4 = 12
D Warwick 3,1,2,1 = 7
A Bugeja 1,3,1,dns = 5
D Harding 0,0,0,2 = 2

In the sidecars Treloar / Plaisted were just that bit too good for
the other outfits and would have had an unblemished record but for a
retirement when in first in their first ride

Final
Treloar/Plaisted, Plaisted /Harrison, Bottrell/Teale, Munro/Edwards

Glasgow fans may remember Arlo Bugeja, who rode in the Young guns events, from a few second half outings at Ashfield last season wearing number 56 on his kevlars.

Many thanks again to Bryn for providing the details on what sounded like another excellent party night for the popular Aussie.
