Craig Cook: what next?

Over the seasons CFS have sponsored him I'd imagine the figure amounts to a 6 figure sum!!

Some clubs don’t get anywhere near that sort of cash for headline team sponsorship. Shows how daft Cook is to blow away CFS money.

If CCook has a good meeting tonight he may well land a premiership ride - thats if Roscoe allows him to ride.

I hope he has a great meeting tonight, as far as getting a Premiership team I think Craig`s reputation is beginning to go before him now.

It still is a little inconsistent for CFS to be still 'using' an image of Craig Cook on the front page of their own website and extolling their previous association with him to promote their business rather than updating the information with 2019 details instead.

I don't see a picture of him on here? http://www.cfsmotorracing.com/

Exactly just how hard is it to sit still and not move until the tapes go up.

All meetings should just adopt the Polish system..

On the Polish thread it was said all front wheels have to be 10cm away from the tapes..

And watching the racing out there, it is very strictly policed by the start marshall and ref..

No room for rollers, or 'twitching' as the tapes will be touched...

Very rarely see a restart for tapes issues in Poland..

NEVER done it but probably a lot harder than we think. 

Not convinced Phil, At the top level a decent start is a distinct advantage, on some tracks it practically guarantees you a race win.

I was referring to the website that is actually about their filtration systems business ... The one that they describe as their main website ...

https://www.cfsfiltration.com

 

 

Ha, how many websites do they need! That one doesn't appear to have been updated for a while.

Not that hard but if you want to steal march on the other three then be the first to drop the clutch - most of the time the refs call it back BUT sometimes they don't.  We know who they are, Sarjeant, Andersen, Ellis are three others that spring to mind.

Agree,you don’t see the riders messing the Start Marshall about like they do here ,the match I watched last week he was even straightening them up if he though they were lining up at an angle ,no messing.

I never actually met Cook but he seems like a good bloke committed to the sport. Yes he has made a few mistakes but he is a top class rider and his own man who doesn’t care about what people think of him, most of which appears to be speculation and rumours. For all his loyalty for BV I think he’s been treated badly by Lemo and also by Chapman. Give him a break.

THERE is no doubt that he is also very popular with fans, as witnessed by the support he received at BV on Saturday.

Of course he is, he says, or someone does on his behalf, all the right things on social media, he encouraged fans to get behind him last year, put their names all over his van and kevlars etc etc He's also a local up Manchester way and I thought did all the right things by the club. He's been honest about his problems which goes a long way with fans too.

I had to smile when I saw this.

Whitehaven (where Cook comes from, and is based) is over 150 miles from Manchester.

King's Lynn is nearer! :)

Northerner isn't he, ? He"s not Scottish, Welsh, a Midlander or a Southerner!
