By Celebrating this July its 80th Anniversary, since it first entered the motor racing hemisphere in 1946, the first Loughshinny Motorcycle Supporters Club organised Skerries 100 since 2022 (4th-5th July), has received a welcome sponsorship boost from loyal event supporters, title sponsors Country Crest.
The news adds to the behind-the-scenes momentum, ahead of high-level pure road racing returning to Skerries.
Back in the summer of 2022, local hero Michael ‘Micko’ Sweeney recorded Super Twins, Open, Grand Final race triumphs whilst the Supersport race saw the former Duke Road Race Rankings Champion pipped to P1 by last year’s Armoy ‘Race of Legends’ winner Michael Browne.
