The Skerries 100
| See Guy and the team in action on July 3rd at the fantastic Skerries 100 meeting. The Skerries 100, is without doubt one of Irelands most famous motorcycle road race. Skerries, a small fishing town, situated just north of Dublin, has been associated with road racing since 1930, when the Leinster 100, which became a '200' in 1931, was run on a 13 mile circuit which linked the villages of Skerries, Lusk and Rush. The Leinster races continued until 1935 and during that time some of the greatest names in racing took part; the legendary Stanley Woods, Jimmy Guthrie and Walter Rusk to name but a few. These men were then, the equivalent of Doohan, Biaggi and Criville today. From 1935 there was no racing at Skerries for ten years, as the Leinster races moved to the Taillight course, but when war-time difficulties prevented the Dublin and Districts annual 100 mile road race from running at Phoenix Park, the Skerries 100 was born. |
