Local boy Shannon Skerritt heads east
This press release is making the rounds at all the ‘big’ websites, so of course it will be posted here as well. Shannon “Too Vanilla for You” Skerritt is rumored to be heading back east (Vermont specifically) for two of the big early season races on the calendar. While you’re at it, check out Shannon’s ultra-cool blog that answers questions you didn’t even know you had. Question: In what category will the remnants of Phish be racing?
We’re not sure what ‘calibre’ is but we think it is pretty close to caliber. What are we in England or something? Note that one of the big sponsors is Ben and Jerry’s and they will be handing out free ice cream each day between noon and 4pm.
Also more importantly, please note in the press release, you can watch Shannon on your computer by going to Ultrasport.tv as they will be covering the weekend’s racing action.
