2021 Cookstown 100 Results

September 13, 2021 by TomBoyNI

2021 Cookstown 100 Results :

The second, and final, road racing event of 2021 was the Cookstown 100 and was held over the weekend of 10th and 11th September 2021.

What is traditionally the season starter has actually marked the end of the Northern Irish Road Racing Season in 2020 and now 2021 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and as restrictions now start to ease I, and the rest of the road racing fraternity, hope to see the Cookstown 100 back to its rightful place as the opening event in the 2022 Season.

In respect of the 2021 event we were treated to another well run event with a busy Friday Practice Day with a few races to wrap up the day and then a Saturday Race Day that started off rather slowly with a number of red flags, but then picked up steam and rattled through a packed schedule of 12 Races.

We had classics, support, 125s and Moto 3s, 600s, 1000s and superbikes… Something for everyone. Despite a few last minute withdrawals such as Michael Dunlop to a BSB event, Derek Magee to injury we were treated to some excellent racing, and every competitor deserves a mention. So to everyone who donned a set of leathers and took part this weekend we applaud you!

In a horrible twist of fate the weather followed in an almost carbon copy of 2020 in that it was dry all day race day right up until the Superbike Cookstown 100 final. Then a heavy shower soaked the circuit, red flagging the final which had just got underway with a full grid.

(In 2020 the rain actually led to the final race being abandoned and there was no Cookstown 100 feature race).

After a delay to let the rain stop, 2 sighting laps were offered to the riders to make a decision and the decision was that the race would run however only seven riders took to the grid to take on the now damp and rather greasy Orritor circuit.

The 2021 Cookstown 100 Final ran as a short four lap sprint and from start to finish there was a duel between Darryl Tweed and Forest Dunn, with Tweed initially in the lead, but Dunn snapping hard his his heels for the first couple of laps. However, at the point that mattered, Forest Dunn took the chequered flag by 0.551 seconds to take home the coveted Cookstown 100 trophy.

2021 Armoy Results and Galleries :

Update : 07/08/2021 : Galleries from EVERY 2021 Saturday Race Added! See them underneath each Race Result!

Road Racing came back to Northern Ireland in 2021 with the first of two planned events coming to the County Antrim village of Armoy. We haven’t had racing in Armoy since 2019, in fact 2020 only saw a Cookstown event squeeze into the racing calendar.

However, the Armoy Club planned meticulously for the entire year, with regular updates and plans getting made public for a ticket only event to run on 30th / 31st July 2021.

That ticket only event quickly became a sell out and the planning paid off. The event was pretty much perfect.

It saw starting grids full of bikes in every class, from Support to Classics to Supersports to Supertwins and of course, Superbikes.

Friday was a qualification day with a couple of races at the end, both of which saw wins for local man, Michael Dunlop. The start of what would become a perfect weekend for Dunlop.

Then came race day and a packed race day at that. 11 planned races and all 11 ran. A red flag in the first race saw that race being declared a result after 5 laps, but from here on we were treated to a pretty much incident free race day right up until the final race, the Grand Final, the ‘Race of Legends.’

A red flag incident on the warm up lap saw a slight delay, but what followed was a Masterclass of road racing by Michael Dunlop as he raced seamlessly to his 9th Consecutive ‘Race of Legends’ Title.

Every race is deserving of a mention so in an attempt to avoid spoilers, the results are all below. Click the “+” beside the Race name to see the full results.

Bikes! will show on BBC1 Northern Ireland on 3rd August 2021 at 22:35 so make sure to set your reminders, failing that no doubt it will be available on the iPlayer after this time.

Oliver’s Mount Spring Cup 2021 : Results

May 25, 2021 by TomBoyNI

Bob Smith Spring Cup 2021 : Results

2021 has finally saw bikes on a road racing circuit and the first event of the year was held on 22nd & 23rd May 2021 at Scarborough’s Oliver’s Mount.

Oliver’s Mount road race circuit is England’s only natural ‘road’ race track. The challenging undulating track is situated just five minutes from Scarborough’s beach front, England’s oldest seaside resort. Many fans have likened the track to a ‘miniature TT by the seaside’. Mass race starts around the breath-taking track provides close racing which delivers excitement no other track in England can match – which is why races fans love the stunning venue. It’s an overload for the senses, you can smell the fumes and rubber, you can feel the heat from the bikes – you’re so close to the action it feels like you could almost reach out and touch it.

2020 Cookstown 100 Results

November 8, 2020September 15, 2020 by TomBoyNI

No one thought it happen – road racing in 2020, but it did!

Full credit must go to Cookstown 100 Club and every member of the team who pushed forward with what at times must have seemed like an impossible task – running a road race in 2020 and under the ever present cloud of Covid-19.

But press ahead they did and the result was an extremely successful and extremely well run 2020 Cookstown 100. There were some restrictions in place such as movement around the course and the numbers of people who could be admitted, none of which were under the control of the Club. You can after all only play the hand you are dealt, and they played their hand well.

In 2020 if the only thing you can complain about is that the weather closed in and meant the feature superbike race had to be called off, then you have done well, and really that’s all there is to complain about – the Northern Irish weather – typical. But, for most of the day it was grand, warm and dry – couple that with a ‘full house’ and riders and teams who were clearly thrilled to be back on the roads and you get a brilliant road race.

The only disappointment now is that that is all 2020 has to offer in the Northern / Irish Racing Calendar. One thing is for sure it will have wet the appetite for 2021!

Onto the racing and we saw the return of Adam McLean after his off at 2019 Tandragee and he came back with the outstanding form he had been showing prior to the Tandragee incident – excellent – resulting in a double for him in the Supersport and Supertwin classes, and adding the Supertwin lap record to his list of accolades.

The Superbike Open race took three attempts to get a result, the win for Derek Shiels on his BMW showed more of the same from the Irish man – fast and stylish – as we have grown accustomed two over previous years and brought his total to 9 wins at Cookstown.

Paul Jordan continued to show his class and form, taking a strong win in the Moto3 / 125cc class.

Neil Kernohan with his distinctive helmet and always immaculately turned out machines took the 250cc / Lightweight class and Barry Davidson took the Junior Classic.

Vinny Breenan took the first race of the Day in the Senior Support Class, Junior Support was lifted by Michael Gillan by over 4 seconds in an impressive race.

2020 Oliver’s Mount Barry Sheene Classic Results

August 17, 2020August 17, 2020 by TomBoyNI

2020 Oliver’s Mount Barry Sheene Classic Results :

To the joy of road racing fans the world over we have actually had some racing in 2020! From 14th – 16th August Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough held the Barry Sheene Classic. A day of practice and qualifying followed by two days of flat out non stop racing.

The Oliver’s Mount events are ones that I do not normally cover, mainly because I have no chance of getting any where them but this year I did follow them quite intently on Twitter and on the live timings site and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the coverage, tweeting and online content that I could find.

UKClubSport have done an excellent job in putting the results together for every qualifying session and race. You will find every result from the 2020 Oliver’s Mount Barry Sheene Classic here :

RESULTS: Barry Sheene Classic – August 14-16, 2020

2020 Oliver's Mount Barry Sheene Classic Results : LEE Johnston — **2020 Oliver’s Mount Barry Sheene Classic Results** : LEE Johnston

It brings me great pleasure to say that Northern Ireland’s own Lee Johnston shone to make it a perfect four out of four in the Supersport category.

Dean Harrison also brought his A-game and made it a superb five from five in the Classic Superbike races.

What a packed weekend that event was with a huge 31 races ran over the two race days. That really makes me want to make the trip over.

Oliver’s Mount next event is scheduled to be the Gold Cup due to run on the weekend of the 11th – 13th September 2020. Unfortunately that clashes directly with the planned dates for the rescheduled 2020 Cookstown 100.

2019 East Coast Racing Festival Results (Killalane)

November 2, 2023September 9, 2019 by TomBoyNI

The 2019 East Coast Racing Festival concludes the 2019 Irish Road Racing Season.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get anywhere near Killalane due to a mechanical incident with my bike – well some a**e left a massive screw on the M1 motorway near Dublin and ruined my chances of getting anywhere near the racing. So thanks for that you inconsiderate t**t!

However well done to all involved in the event. If you would like a decent recap of the event check out the

Just like for the 2019 TT Races the weather did its upmost to put a dampener on things for the Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix over the 2019 Festival of Motorcycling.

However through some tough days and good calls from the Clerk of the Course, Gary Thompson, we got our racing.

The 2019 MGP ran from 17th – 30 August 2019.
