he Munster "100" has had a long and chequered history since the first motorcycle race held in Cork in 1940. That first race 70 years ago was called the Cork 50 and took place on the 1.5 mile Monaghan road circuit near Cork city centre. Because of World War II and petrol shortages, motorcycle racing did not return to Munster until 1947 when the club (mmcc) ran the Motor Cycle Union of Ireland's 25 mile championship on a 3.5 mile segment of the pre-war Cork Grand Prix car circuit at Carrigrohane. Dublins great motorcycle star of the late 1940's and 1950's Louis Carter, made his roadracing debut in that 1940 meeting, finishing second to another Dubliner, Reg Armstrong, who later went on to win the senior race in the Isle of Man in 1252.
