Next stop on the #AXABikecare #Skerries100 circuit is Shady Lane, Sam’s Tunnel and Sams Leap Shady Lane leading into Sam’s Tunnel is where the riders engage warp drive and become a blur as they reach top speeds on the circuit. Races have been won and lost on this section. Due to the speeds on this part of the circuit this section is prohibited from the Hairpin to Ardla Road. The Marshals in this area are the toughest you’ll meet anywhere! There is lots of space around the Shady Lane – Ardla road junction and even a mini grandstand just on the exit of Sam’s tunnel which gives an excellent view of most of this section of the circuit. Sam’s Leap named after multiple Skerries 100 Winner Sam McClements is a great place to watch as riders grapple to maintain control of their machines over the leap before braking hard for the temporary chicane half way round the long sweeping left hander which leads into the Start / Finish straight. The sprint to the finish line starts just outside the gates to the Hills Cricket Club where riders stand their bikes up and get back on the throttle as quickly as possible. Important Note: Motorcycle Racing is an EXTREME sport so remember listen to the marshals at all times and NEVER stand or sit in a prohibited area...if you do then the racing stops! I guarantee that wont go down well with your fellow fans/spectators. #WILLYOUBETHERE?
