The
countdown is well and truly on for the 2018 KDM Hire Cookstown 100,which takes
place on Friday and Saturday 27/28th April. Already entries have been
received Derek Sheils, winner of the last two KDM
Cookstown 100 Feature races, along with Michael Sweeney, Manx Grand
Prix winner Brad Vicars etc. There is quite an influx of newcomers making their
Cookstown 100 debut including Burrows Engineerings new signing Davey Todd.
There is also considerable interest from across the globe, with our ever
popular Czech friends, Michael Dukopil and Veronika Hancokvy both making a
return trip. Michael will be hoping for better luck this year, as he crashed
out in the opening 600 race on Saturday morning, resulting in a premature end
to his weekend.
Entries
have also been received from French riders, Morgan Govignon and Nicolas Pautet,
Canadian Mel Gantly, Austrian Chris Eder, from Germany, Kenny Hinks, and
probably the most exciting newcomer from far away, New Zealand 1000 superstock
championship contender, Daniel Mettram. Mettram will be riding for Billy
McKinstrys team and will contest this years event on board a Supertwin and 600
Yamaha. McKinstry has always had an eye for talent, and in recent years has
been responsible for spotting riders such as Ivan Lintin and Dean Harrison.
Competitors
are asked to note, that the closing date for entries for this years event is 31st March
2018. Entry forms and regulations can be found at www.cookstown100/downloads.
The
club are at present extending the Race Paddock, which will be competed in time
