    Bradford DMC and The Scott

    Bradford and District Motor Club took over and held ‘the Scott’ around Blubberhouses until 1938 when the permission to use the land was withdrawn, meaning that a new home at Swainby was found for the immediate years after the Second World War. A reorganisation of boundaries by the sport’s governing body in 1950 saw a switch to Swaledale under the auspices of Darlington and District Motor Club until 1990 when current custodians Richmond and District Motor Club took over and continue to put on a wonderful event annually

    The Yorkshire Centre Clubman Championship final round will be held on Sunday, 7th December, at Skyrakes, Bog Lane Skipton. The course will be marked out according to championship rules. The club hopes to organise a “small wheel class” trial, but this will depend on a site visit during the next few weeks. The trial will be an “open” trial, but participants must be registered with a Yorkshire Centre Club as an ACU member to be eligible for Championship points. Entries will be available via the ACU/Sport80 platform sometime in November.
