Hi All, The rider in question is actually my old man and wanted to share any memories from his racing days with anyone else out there - he is still ALIVE! so dont panic... I am actually planning a surprise party for him next year and would like to get in touch with any people that knew him and get a good crowd together... not sure if anyone can help me on another topic but i am trying to put together a DVD of my dads best race meetings.... now I was 8/9 when he quit and from memory i am thinking Exeter @ Mildenhall...... the meeting where he had that race with dave jackson Peterborough 4 team tournament....he had a good meeting there ..... there are a couple of exeter home meetings where he scored maximums.... and the meeting where he won the league riders pairs championship with rob hollingworth i believe i need to try and obtain copies of his best meetings on video and transfer them onto DVD for him..... can anyone help or have suggest from race meetings? Cheers

HE CERTAINLY DOES LIVE IN FELIXSTOWE STILL, IN A VILLAGE CALLED KIRTON..... HE'LL BE 53 THIS YEAR I BELEIVE! IF YOU NEED AN ARTICLE DOING I'LL HAPPILY HELP IN ANYWAY I CAN

I'D LIKE TO MEET HIM NOW..... 15 YEARS LATER ON OF COURSE

I REMEMBER THAT ONE, WAS ABOUT 8 I THINK AT THE TIME AND STILL REMEMBER A POOLE FAN SHOUTING BEHIND ME "HAHA COOKIE HAS LOST HIS HEAD" SURPRISING THAT HE GOT AWAY WITH A GASH ABOVE HIS EYE AND HE SWALLOWED HIS TONGUE I BELIEVE ALSO.... THE OTHER CRASH AT POOLE WAS WHERE HE CLIPPED SOMEONES BACK END GOING INTO TURN ONE AND CATIPULTED HIMSELF INTO THE FENCE AND OVER IT AND THE HANDLEBARS SMACKED HIS MID-RIFT ON THE DOG TRACK AND WAS BLACK AND BLUE ALL OVER HIS CROWN JEWELLS

just watched that utube race, i remember that one clearly, one of the best races i have ever seen in the sport... I wonder if anyone has uploaded any of his crashes - there were two at poole i remember were quite spectacular

yeah i was the one with the rats tail....what years were you racing at the county ground, I think i recall your name but i think i was about 6 at the time lol

HI PEOPLE I HAVE JUST READ A FEW POSTS REGARDING COLIN COOK AS I PERFORMED A SEARCH ON THESE FORUMS AND THERE WAS ONE OF TWO PEOPLE WONDERING WHAT HE WAS CURRENTLY UP TO... WELL BEING HIS YOUNGEST SON THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU ALL KNOW... HE STILL LIVES IN EAST ANGLIA IN IPSWICH WITH MY MUM SUE, HE STUCK WITH JUST THE 3 KIDS MY OLDER BROTHER DAVID WHO IS NOW 35 AND MY OLDER SISTER KIELY WHO IS NOW 26 I BELIEVE AND OF COURSE MYSELF.... HE HAS 5 GRAND CHILDREN NOW ADAM (14), ANTHONY (7), KACEY (2), CAMERON (2) AND KATELYN (7MONTHS). HE HASN'T HAD ANY INVOLVEMENT IN SPEEDYWAY SINCE 1992 WHEN HE HAD HIS BENEFIT MEETING AT EXETER AND HASN'T ATTENDED ANY MEETINGS SINCE ABOUT 1993 DUE TO IPSWICH CHARGING HIM ENTRY FEES (HOW THEY CAN CHARGE EX RIDERS IS BEYOND ME). HE HAS KEPT HIS INTEREST IN BIKES THOUGH HE OWNS A ROAD BIKE (HONDA VFR400) AND HAS BEEN A MECHANIC IN BRITISH SUPERBIKES...NOW WORKS AS A MECHANIC HIMSELF BUT ON CARS FOR HIS UNCLE HE HAS ALSO HELPED OLLIE AT HIS KINGS LYNN RACE SCHOOL ON OCCASIONS.... IF ANYONE WANTS TO SHARE MEMORIES OF MY OLD MAN PLEASE DO SO AS I WAS ONLY 9 WHEN HE STOPPED RACING SO ANYTHING PRE 1988 I REALLY CANT REMEMBER ALSO I WILL BE SELLING SOME COOKIE MEMORABILIA ON EBAY SOON INCLUDING RACE JACKETS, SIGNED PHOTOS, OLD PROGRAMS AND EVEN SOME TROPHIES SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY OFFERS OR HAVE ANY ENQUIRIES
