Skerries 100 Bikefest 2023 :

The Loughshinny Motorcycle Supports Club have announced an event in lieu of the Skerries 100 Road Races.

The Road Races have unfortunately been cancelled for 2023 due to the lack of insurance cover for motorcycling events in Ireland.

The weekend will kick off on Friday 30th June with our Classic Charity Bike Run starting at the Skerries Mills, Co. Dublin K34K293 at 7 pm. (To Be Confirmed)

The weekend’s entertainment continues on Saturday 1st July with the Skerries Memories being held in the Ring Commons Sports Centre Co. Dublin K32X903 at 8pm. This will be an evening of anecdotes of 70+ years of the Skerries 100 and a chat show, hosted by Jack Corry.

On Sunday 2nd of July, as we will be holding a static bike show in the Ring Commons Sports Centre Co. Dublin K32X903 from 12 noon until 5 pm. This will include interviews with riders past and present, displays of bikes from all disciplines of motorcycling, food, and fun for all the family. Admission fee of €10 upon entry.

2023 Pre-TT Classic Races Schedule :

2023 Pre-TT Classic Races Schedule :

The 2023 Blackford Pre-TT Classic Road Races will run from Friday 26th May – Sunday 28th May 2023 with racing happening on all three dates.

Note though, that this year will see no Monday racing session for this event.

The Pre-TT Classic Road Races came into being in 1988 at the request of the then TT organisers, the then Auto Cycle Union, Classics having first appeared on the Billown course twelve months earlier at the popular Southern ‘100’ Road Races.’ The first TT Classic Races were held on the 31^st May1988, the meeting consisting of four races, 250cc/350c; 500cc; Unlimited and Sidecars and attracted 115 entries in all.

Honour of being the first race winner went to Graham Godward of Royston in Hertfordshire, riding a 350cc Aermacchi, whilst the 250cc category was dominated by ‘local’ classic man Mike Cain from Onchan on his 250cc Suzuki. Dave Pither, Seeley Matchless took the 500cc race from Richard Swallow on Syd Lawton’s Aermacchi with Alan Dugdale third. Riding a BSA Metisse, Stroud’s Robert Price finished first in the Unlimited race, whilst the controversial MV Agusta sidecar outfit of Mark Kay and Richard Battisson took the chequered flag in the final race of the day. The Classics had arrived at Billown!

Thirty plus years on, the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races is rated as one of the most popular and ‘must do’ events in the annual Classic calendar attracting well over 250 entries for its nine-race event.

2023 Skerries 100 Postponed

April 29, 2023 by TomBoyNI

2023 Skerries 100 Postponed :

The Loughshinny Motorcycle Club have announced via a Facebook statement that the 2023 Skerries 100 has been postponed from 1st and 2nd July 2023, and is now scheduled to take place on 9th and 10th September 2023.

Statement :

Loughshinny Motorcycle Supporters Club Committee have taken the difficult decision to reschedule the Country Crest Skerries 100 Road Races 2023 that were due to take place on 1st and 2nd July. The new proposed date is September 9th & 10th (subject to MCI securing the relevant insurance)

This is due to Motorcycling Ireland, the governing body of motorcycle sport in the Republic of Ireland being unable to secure a suitable insurance quote/cover for any form of competitive motorcycling in the South of Ireland, this year to date. Protracted negotiations are still ongoing with various insurance companies.

The club has had to make this difficult decision due to the limited time now available to organise such a major sporting event.

The Country Crest Skerries 100 2023 will take place on September 9th & 10th (subject to MCI securing the relevant insurance)

We thank you for your continued support and will keep you updated if there are any changes to this situation.

The Dundrod Club have confirmed this evening via a Facebook Post that the 2023 Ulster Grand Prix has been cancelled.

Blame has firmly been pointed at the Insurance situation and funding issues.

The statement in its entirety can be read below :

It is with deep regret the Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club has been forced to abandon plans to revive the Ulster Grand Prix on August 18-19, 2023.

The club began the initiative with confidence, enjoying the full backing of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council and the Ulster Grand Prix Supporters’ Club. There was encouraging support from teams and riders and we also received strong commitments of financial support from the local business community for which we are extremely grateful.

However, in recent weeks those plans have been undermined by two specific issues.
