- After a year and a half it's finally time for Dave and Martin to get back to Scarborough for the Oliver's Mount Gold Cup 2022. The finale of the British and Irish road racing season kicks back into life and Dave has taken his camera along to see behind the scenes.
Thanks to OTT Pix for the thumbnail photo
Why is Clive Pagett not a Sir Clive? He just seems like one of the best gentlemen ever created.
I’ve asked the same question many times Mark.
Alright Dave, my lass doesn't believe your 60, I reckon your about 45 and a half if you could settle this long drawn out argument that would be splendid. Keep up the great videos stay safe lads and lasses cheers
I'm 28. Not had a birthday in a few years though 😁
Loved that little chip about Tony's commentating skills.
Liked it very much indeed.
Great rear facing camera in the classic superbikes love the sit up and beg Bandit and why is he not Sir Clive he must have done more for British racing than anyone else
I've just realised how old I'm getting. I remember seeing Mick Grant racing at Oliver's Mount.
Jarno Saarinen for me!!! (But I was born just over the road)
Thanks. If you read this in your busy schedule!?!?. When i went to this track while working locally my transport was a VFR750 about 15 years ago. At that time the left hander just after the start was very bumpy and not in great condition and thus plenty of bikes were left on the floor.
Wow, that is a very narrow track with lots of trees either side! Fun is the name of the game! Well done Dave!
Fully intended to get to the races but the poor weather forecast put me off. Good to see you still enjoyed it.
We used to go to Scarborough many years ago to Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) Farmyard rally at Foxholes, and on the Saturday the charity ride would always start on Oliver’s Mount!
Some great roads around there!
Cracking stuff Wavy, used to race, don’t anymore, great to see you keepin it goin 😜🙂👍
love your channel.was looking for such vlog involving NI racing.your channel is exactly what i was after.just sub'ed. hope you'll cover all the NI races you decides to participate to.....captivating insights and behind the scenes....
Thanks Dave, brilliant video 👍🏍
right now in this moment , i enjoy my comeback... so i come back from a yamaha garage and they told me before tüv/anual inspection the first tires at 21.136km are not bad at my little-big one (125cc) ...my attention to the man with the Yamaha MT 👍 good choice !
Hey Dave, I’m currently restoring two ZXR750s, an L1 and an L2. One is going to be all original and one will be a track bike for classic racing. Would love to see a video with an in depth look at your 750s ! Cheers.
I love Oliver's Mount, I'm hoping to arrange my 2023 trip to the UK to coincide with the next gold cup races .
We did this in 2020 amongst all the madness of quarantines. Great track to watch and lots of great racing\
Enjoyable as ever. Looking forward to the Mexico video, who is going to win the unofficial race within a race for the Obsession Cup between you and Eric, that's the burning question.
The answer to that question will be coming up soon!
Great stuff Dave as always
Looks like an awesome time.
Welcome back, Wavey 👋🏽 Thought you got lost somewhere
Excellent vlog! Great personality. I’ve prolly watched you race many times, unaware of you. You now have my interest!
Thanks for the coverage, very interesting.
Another cracking one Dave
I think you did have actual fun! Great stuff.
Tough looking race
Fascinating and as informative as ever Simon.
As a bike racing fan this kind of content is great.
But...
As we/they keep shortening ( as in all top level motorsport) the braking area the racing suffers.
Any thoughts as to what can encompass progress and the opportunity to overtake too?
I think the level of competition keeps getting stronger and that makes the gaps tighter, sometimes it makes for close, exciting racing, other times it can be a procession.
I just need to get better at passing
Simon?
Craking vids as always Dave thanks for highlighting how poor my start was Stwin race 3 🤣🙈 must try harder 👌👍
yay!
T time viewing sorted, onward bound.
Would love to see at least bits and pieces of your race. I keep wanting to like your vids on the youtube, but I can't seem to move my mouse towards the thumb up without actually seeing you or your compatriots taking a go at the course. I'll convince myself to stay subbed and hope against all odds that you remember to turn on the go pro before the starting gun. Otherwise your vids are are quite excellent. Thank you.
I do have a tenancy to forget to press record when it really matters 😬
Open question for Dave, do you think those lads who were blocking you were out of order or not keeping to racing etiquette, or is it all fair enough racing craft or something? No opinion from me, just wondering how you racers view it.
Totally fair racing, they're using the lines and braking strengths to hold positions. It's just a bit annoying when I know I could go faster. But racing isn't supposed to be easy
And the slippery surface at Olivers Mount is nothing to do with the recent closure, riders started complaining about this a number of years ago. It's another nail in the coffin for the circuit if people are being charged BSB prices to get in then riders either go home or sit out races the moment there is any dampness - which is regular at Scarborough. I can't see the owners or organisers having the money to resurface. Riders themselves will stop putting entries in if the chances of a ruined weekend are high and go elsewhere. Probably one of the reasons why so many top riders have drifted away already, and even the lower orders too as witness by the number of new faces filling the grid, many of whom - not being disrespectful- simply wouldn't have got an entry at one time.
A very good point.
We need to get the locals driving around it more!
The sap and green off the trees has always been the main cause of the low grip, especially when damp. The newer bits of tarmac will get better with time and use.
If it'd been early in the weekend most people would have raced, but towards the end of the races it's much easier to sit it out.
