Cock o’ the North Road Races
16 July 2008
It’s 111 wins and counting for Ian Lougher following the conclusion of the annual Cock o’ the North Road Races at Scarborough. Lougher was at his superb best round the historic Oliver’s Mount circuit and his dominance was such, that he was one victory short of achieving a 100% record in every race he contested. The honour of the most wins at Oliver’s Mount goes to the experienced Welshman and following the first day’s action on Saturday it was easy to see why, as he blasted his way to five wins from five starts. Ian was successful in both Superbike races on the team’s Yamaha R1 Superbike, he then followed this up with victory in the 600cc race on the impressive Team Blackhorse Yamaha Supersport R6 and then showed his renowned versatility by taking victory in the 125cc and 250cc events on the Barnes Racing machines to take his tally to 108 wins.

Ivan Lintin Competes in Bush Races
26 June 2008
Bardney road-racer Ivan Lintin was competing at the Bush Road Races in Ireland at the weekend where he notched up two strong finishes, sixth in the 250cc class and 10th in the open class. On a familiar track Lintin completed his qualifying in the dry to claim a second row start to his 250cc race the following day. But a heavy downpour of rain left the track surface damp and slippery for the start of his six-lap race, making any progress forward a dicey affair. He completed the six laps of the 3.307-mile road course in sixth position.

Confidence Boosting Time For Costello At Cock O The North Road Races
02 July 2007
Northamptonshire motorcycle racer Maria Costello overcame difficult conditions to compete at the Cock o the North Road Races for the first time. Despite a mechanical problem forcing her to retire while in 7th place, her best position of the weekend, the diminutive blonde was content with the confidence boost the weekend had given her. After a disappointing qualifying session, Maria lined up on row five of the grid onboard her Bering and Black Horse sponsored RVF400 for its maiden race. A good start for Costello saw her make up places on the first tight and chaotic hairpin but she couldn’t make up a further 2 places to get a finish in the top ten.
