CRAIG Cook raced to glory as Glasgow’s representative in the Championship Riders’ Individual - and then dedicated his title to club bosses.
Cook needed a win in the Semi-Final in a brilliant meeting at Sheffield’s Owlerton Stadium to book his place in the final.
He made a great start off the outside gate to edge out Lakeside’s Richard Lawson and home hero Kyle Howarth.
Said Cook: “I’d like to dedicate this to the people at Glasgow and the management who gave me an opportunity to have extra meetings in the second half of the season.
“Also to the Glasgow fans who have been brilliant with me since I joined and they got right behind me again.
“It’s making me feel positive about my racing and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season.”
Runner-up Lawson said: “It would have been nice to win my first title and I thought I’d got it but I just left too much room and Craig took full advantage.
“I’m pleased with my performance but it would have been nice to have won it.”
