The Southern Irish road racing championship begins this
weekend as the Skerries100 meeting takes place.
It starts off with the Classic Run this evening at 6.30 and donations
this year go to the Irish Heart Foundation. All taking part in the run will receive
a Parade Lap Medal kindly sponsored by Des Darcy Motors.
Schedule
Friday June 30th
Practice is from 1pm until 9.30pm if necessary, so there’s
plenty of time after work or school to get down for a look.
Saturday July 1st
Roads close from 9.30am to 6.30. 13 races are lined up for
Saturday beginning with the Open race and leading to the Grand Final where the
day’s fastest riders are eligible to compete. Should be an excellent combination of
Superbike and Supersport machinery.
The Open race last year was a closely fought affair between
current Senior TT winner Michael Dunlop and local favourite Derek Sheils. If the conditions are kind lap records could be under
threat. Maverick is the current lap record holder with a 110mph average over the 3 mile circuit.
Wishing the Riders, Club, Officials, Photographers, Medical
staff and volunteers a safe and successful meeting!
