tuktuk Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 First off, where did that name come from?Secondly, who is going?From what ive heard, racing is taking place on the Sunday only this time? Quote
thebendyfox Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Yes, racing only Sunday this year. The bast*rds at Scarborough Council have stuck their noses in for some reason.Not sure where the name came from, but I love the double takes that I get from wearing my t-shirts with it blazoned across the front Might be going up for the Sunday, depends on family and work, probably won't know until late.

NeilM Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Cock of.It's a term in Yorkshire meaning best of.I.e. Cock o north means the best in the north. P.S.Cock is also a term of endearment in many parts of Yorkshire. Mainly west n south.As in "alright cock".So is not offensive in the slightest. One day this year because the spring cup was over 2 days whereas that was traditionally a 1 day event. Quote

fullscreenaging Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) It got shut down due to an oil spillage I read. Shame for the fans Edited July 20, 2015 by fullscreenaging Quote
tuktuk Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 First sidecar race, one of the bikes dropped its oil over the start finish. They kept saying 20mins for about an hour, then asked fire brigade to hose it off but they never arrived so people just started leaving. Quote
thebendyfox Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 They ran the Cock o' North Race at the Gold Cup Event due to that spillage. Second time that the side cars have caused delays But I'll forgive them that for the brilliant entertainment they bring.Anyways, the calender for next year at Scarborough has changed, and all events have TWO DAYS RACING, but camping is now advance booking only :2016Spring National (Bob Smith Trophy) - 16th & 17th AprilCock o' The North (Inc. European Bikes rally w/parades and exhibitions) - 25th & 26th JuneBarry Sheene Meeting (Classic bikes and Japanese Rally) - 23rd & 24th JulySteve Henshaw Gold Cup - 16th & 17th SeptemberMe and the Mrs are looking at the Cock o' North and Gold Cup, as it coincides nicely with my expected holidays Should we get an "Official" Olivers Mount thread going? Seems to be a few of us around, and i love spreading the word about the events there.http://www.oliversmountracing.com Quote
NeilM Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Agree. Scarborough is a great day out. We only did the 2 this year but always go when we can. Quote
