Thought you race fans might like to know about this one, if you don't already. Sad news indeed 😟
"It is with utmost sadness that we have to inform road race fans, riders, teams and the media that the 2018 Oliver’s Mount Cock O’The North road races on June 23rd/24th 2018 have had to be cancelled.
Auto 66 Club and its team of volunteers have been working with Scarborough Borough Council for the last 6 months trying to bring the circuit up to the new strict, safety standards that will ensure not just the road races in 2018 continue, but also future events at Oliver’s Mount.
So far, the new required safety levels have not been achieved and so it is with a heavy heart that we have to cancel the 2018 Cock O’The North road races.
With regards to ticket refunds we will continue to try and resolve this complicated situation as soon as possible.
We continue to work closely with Scarborough Council to try and rectify the current situation and will update with any news in the coming weeks".
Flip in ekk, I hope they get their finger out for the Gold Cup, that is one amazing event, been going there for time back in the day the crash barrier consisted of a straw bail and a bit of the orange farm string tied round a tree. The pub has also taken a step in the wrong direction, it used to be a mobile pub , (possibly called the Black Bull) its a beer tent these days , does any one remember the old mobile pub ?
Oh bugger...... I knew the safety zombies would get hold of road racing 🏁 grrrrrrr ffs Been to this one a few times...... Gosh this makes me all melancholy and missing the old days of mire personal choices.... FREEDOM ffs....... Where is it going..... Arggh
