Young51 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) A richly deserved and by the sound of it a very well attended meeting for Parks Must admit he hasnt been bad for a Glasgow Tigers legend/messiah i guess Like he did on most tracks he always rode Armadale very well and entertained us all many times over the years.He always loved the 'banter' with the Monarchs faithful too and took it all in good spirit so fair play to him for that!Always loved his jousts with Peter Carr although 9 times out of ten PC tanned his erse of course .He's also been a very important voice for his fellow riders over the years and must be applauded for that as well.I wish him all the best in whatever lies ahead for him whether still involved in speedway or not.Young Aussie riders wont go far wrong if they follow his example.All the best Parks Edited March 19, 2012 by Young51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Glad to hear that there was a good turnout for Shane Parkers farewell. Richly deserved the man has given a lot to speedway ON and OFF the track and fully deserved an excellent send off. I wish him well in his next chapter of his life.

JulieR Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have Shane's own jacket from his last season at Sheffield plus a Shane Parker pit shirt & a signed programme from the Farewell meeting currently on Ebay. All proceeds from these sales will go to Shane's Farewell Fund in recognition of his services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatDave Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Caught up with the Great Man at Gillman last weekend (at the bar!). He's planning to do some work with local SA & Vic Juniors, so the future's looking good! First up he's getting a Coach's Licence. He reckons: "I want to do more than just teach kids to ride; there's more to racing than just riding a bike and the lads need guidance from an early age." Knowing what he was like at an early age, the mind boggles! Edited April 12, 2012 by BigFatDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TesarRacing Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Caught up with the Great Man at Gillman last weekend (at the bar!). He's planning to do some work with local SA & Vic Juniors, so the future's looking good! First up he's getting a Coach's Licence. He reckons: "I want to do more than just teach kids to ride; there's more to racing than just riding a bike and the lads need guidance from an early age." Knowing what he was like at an early age, the mind boggles! Hi BFD, is Shane still riding competitively at Gillman or is he just coaching? I thought I read he planned to have 1 last season racing. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
