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 :lol:


Might be going up for the Sunday, depends on family and work, probably won't know until late.

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.

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.

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 :lol: :lol: 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 :cheers: :thumb: :
