Paulco Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) The field has just been anounced for this year's classic , and quite interesting it is too . - 1 Trent Leverington ( Glasgow ) 2 Tero Aarnio ( Berwick ) 3 James Wright ( Swindon ) 4 Rory Schlein ( Ipswich ) 5 James Grieves ( Redcar ) 6 Robert Ksiezak (Glasgow ) 7 Carl Stonehewer ( Workington ) 8 David Howe ( Wolverhampton ) 9 Mikael Makovsky ( Berwick ) 10 Tomas Topinka ( King's Lynn ) 11 Paul Cooper ( Sheffield ) 12 Shane Parker ( Glasgow ) 13 Lee Dicken ( Glasgow ) 14 Peter Juul ( Glasgow ) 15 Mitchell Davey ( Glasgow ) 16 Richard Hall ( Scunthorpe ) Referee is the Grand Monarch . Interesting field with a few Ashfield specialists among the PL riders , and one or two top league boys as well . No Monarchs in the field as they are at Birmingham , but we do have a notable ex-Monarch in the shape of the Poo Boy and of course Jim McGregor is the referee . Looking forward to see how 2009 Tiger Peter Juul does on his first competative action round the squaredome . Should be a great afternoon . Just too add Glasgow have re-declared their 1-7 and have introduced Peter Juul in place of Josh Grajczonek for the remaining few meetings .

Van Helsing Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Quite a tasty looking lineup I must say ... Should be some good close racing hopefully. Cant see past Shane or Rory for this one. Cant wait to see Peter in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think several of these are in Berwick Bordernapolis Saturday as was announced: Makovsky, Aarnio, Schlein, Juul, Howe, Parker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us a link to where it was announced EG? Like Paul I haven't seen anything about the line up for it on Saturday, to be honest I thought they had decided not to run it this Saturday and had maybe put it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mervjankefanclub Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Looks like James Wright may have picked up a knock during Skys Monday night meeting. Will the Robins, who are already missing a couple of riders, be keen on him taking his place with the play off the following night Edited September 25, 2008 by mervjankefanclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well I had a chat to Rory Schlein this afternoon and he said he is definately coming up to Glasgow as he is really keen to meet Paulco and as an Edinburgh old boy is keen to win and REALLY p*ss him off!!!! (I didnt really but Im sure that's what he's thinking!!!!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Well I had a chat to Rory Schlein this afternoon and he said he is definately coming up to Glasgow as he is really keen to meet Paulco Why is that ? Does he want to buy me a pint then ? Anyway since he hasn't rode Ashfield since his days with the Moaners it will be interesting to see how he goes . His battles with Mitchell Davey and Lee Dicken should be fascinating . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 James Wright will be riding he was at Workington last night and he said he was looking forward to going to glasgow. Any live updates?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mervjankefanclub Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Top Six 1st Schlein 15pts 2nd Grieves 13 3rd Parker 12 4th Wright 11 5th Topinka 9 6th Stoney 9 Semi-Final; 1st Stoney 2nd Parker 3rd Topinka 4th Wright Final 1st Grieves 2nd Schlein 3rd Stoney 4th Parker Grieves made a great gate in the final and was gone. Schlein locked up slightly at the apex of 1st and 2nd bend to allow Stoney through but re-passed him later in the race. Would give you more details but my old man has buggered aff with the prog. Overall I thought it was a decent meeting, a bit better than usual with quite a bit of passing going on particularly in the first half of the meeting before the track began to slicken off.

Paulco Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Not a big fan of individual events , but this wasn't the worst i've ever seen . Couldn't honestly see anyone getting near Rory Schlein as he cruised to a 15 point maximum , but he made a poor gate in the final to hand James Grieves the initiative - and he took full advantage . Scorers - Rory Schlein 15 , James Grieves 13 , Shane Parker 12 , James Wright 11 , Carl Stonehewer 9 , Tomas Topinka 9 , Mikael Makovsky 9 , David Howe 8 , Robert Ksiezak 8 , Trent Leverington 7 , Lee Dicken 5 , Peter Juul 5 , Lee Smethills 3 , Mitchell Davey 2 , Adam McKinna 2 , T Sike 1 , J McBain 1 Semi-final - 1st Stonehewer 2nd Parker 3rd Topinka 4th Wright Final - 1st Grieves 2nd Schlein 3rd Stonehewer 4th Parker As i said Schlein was head and shoulders above everyone in the qualifying heats , but these days a 15 point maximum doesn't guarentee you victory and James Grieves was a popular winner among the Glasgow faithful . Quite pleased with the debut of Peter Juul who mixed it very well in this company . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Was Carl Stonehewer good? He rode really well today . In his first race he made the gate against Grieves , who then got passed him on the 3rd lap . Heat 2 Grieves , Stonehewer , Howe , Ksiezak His next race he was 2nd to James Wright after a great 4 laps of speedway Heat 7 Wright , Stonehewer , Smethills , Davey He then finished 2nd to the impressive Schlein after missing the gate Heat 12 Schlein , Stonehewer , Dicken , Topinka He was out in the following heat in which he beat Shane Parker Heat 13 Stonehewer , Parker , Leverington , Juul Then in his final race he gated alongside Makovsky , who rode him out to the fence and he ran out of track and fell . The referee harshly excluded him . Heat 18 Makovsky , McKinna , McBain , Stonehewer ( exc ) In the semi-final he comfortably beat Shane Parker for a 2nd time . Semi-final Stonehewer , Parker , Topinka , Wright And in the final he gated 2nd behind Grieves , but made a slight mistake on the 2nd bend of the 2nd lap to let Schlein through into 2nd place Final Grieves , Schlein , Stonehewer , Parker So on the whole 3rd place was a great effort in an event he has won 3 times in the past .

mervjankefanclub Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Was Carl Stonehewer good? Stoney rode well today Nemo and was unlucky to be excluded in his final qualifying heat otherwise he would probably have scored 12 instead of 9. Yep he looked a wee bit more like the Stoney of old today, but as a three time winner he does enjoy the Classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
