Glasgow no 8 in 2004, Gary comes from another famous speedway family and races under their name of Beaton.

He only took speedway up in 2000 and since has worked hard under his grandfathers influence and won the Scottish Junior Championship at Glasgow in 2003.

He did have his first PL rides for Glasgow in 2004 when coming in as number 8 in the meeting against Reading after guest Mark Thomson broke his wrist with Glasgow already operating r/r for Dicken.

He is one of the riders who has benefitted from the formation of the Dale Devils and has been developing with them over the past two seasons as well as riding for the Boro Bears in 2004. With the significant decrease in the number of Conference League outfits in the north in 2006, Gary may well face a significant amount of travelling to ride at CL level.
