KDM Cookstown 100 2014
Justin “Waring” to go again!
Whitby rider, Justin Waring, who last competed at the Cookstown 100back in 2005, is looking forward to returning to the circuit again. He last rode here on a 600 honda, but this time he will be on board his moto 3 machine.
Since he last raced at Cookstown, in 2005, when he rode in the 600 class, Justin has been in retirement for five years, but like many competitors, finds the bug hard to shake off!.Two years ago he returned to the circuits again, and rode one of the new moto 3 honda machines, all was going well until the last meeting at Scarborough, when he was chasing eventual winner Chris Palmer, and it all went wrong! ,A big crash left him hospitalized for five days, suffering back injuries, which Thankfully now have healed up, and he is raring to go again!
42 year old Justin has spent the last 2 seasons developing this new breed of machinery and rides under the Repli Cast UK Race Team,WD-40 and GR Motorsports Banner.
Justin is no stranger to the roads having competed at the IOM TT, Southern 100 and UGP, and has just returned from a successful testing time in Spain.

250s get reprieve
Originally omitted from the Cookstown 100 race plan for 2014,due to poor support in 2013, the club have given the 250 riders a reprieve for this year. Some riders were unhappy with the decision taken by the club, however, common sense has prevailed from both the riders and organizers, and the entry list is now a lot healthier than it was for the 2013 race!
There is still space left for any competitor wishing to compete in the 250 class, get in touch with race secretary, Norman Crooks ; 02886764168 or 07900357982.
