New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) is a top destination for riders visiting the area during Laconia Motorcycle Week, June 14-22, with on- and off-track events throughout nine days of motorcycle mayhem. The 102^nd annual Loudon Classic® headlines a week-long motorcycle celebration that features racing, demo rides, vendors, camping and more.

“Motorcycle Week is one of our favorite times of the year when we get to showcase all the beauty of the Granite State to riders,” said New Hampshire Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager David McGrath. “This event is a great way to kick off the summer season, and we love opening our gates to riders from all over the country. The two-wheeled, road-course racing is wild, and we’re proud to offer riders the opportunity to test out the latest bikes as well as do some shopping for some new gear to upgrade their ride.”

NHMS is home to the best racing action in the region, and there will be no shortage of action on the 1.6-mile full road course June 13-15 when Northeast Motorcycle Road Racing (NEMRR) competes in round three of racing. The weekend will be highlighted by the 102^nd annual Loudon Classic® on June 14, which has been held on site since long before the speedway was built, when it was simply a road course named Bryar Motorsports Park. Known as the longest-running motorcycle race in America, this year’s Loudon Classic® returns with a record-breaking $400,000 purse.

The United States Classic Racing Association returns to NHMS this year closing out the two-wheeled on-track action with the FIM North American Vintage Championships, June 21-22. A variety of classes, ranging from 1950s tank shifters to modern small bike twins provide a wide range of vintage racing action.

Harley-Davidson will host the largest demo ride course in the area June 14-21 allowing riders to feel the excitement of hitting the open road. The nearly nine-mile route will take riders through an off-property experience with a unique chance to demo the power, performance and innovation of the latest models from Harley-Davidson and Indian. Riders should prepare for the ultimate Harley-Davidson experience at NHMS with exclusive merchandise and special perks and rewards. Members of Harley Owners Group, the official riding club of Harley-Davidson, can pick up their commemorative rally pin. There will also be vendors on site with gear, accessories, sound systems and more for bikers along with a food court.

Riders can support children in need throughout New England by participating in events that will benefit the New Hampshire Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities (SCCNH), the official charity of NHMS.

NHMS and ProRider 603 are joining forces again to host the third annual Top Cop for Kids Motorcycle Skills Challenge presented by Whelen, which will put the region’s finest motorcycle riders to the test to see who has what it takes to be named Top Cop. ProRider 603 will set up two timed courses, designed to test accuracy and speed, for three divisions of riders – police, expert civilian and novice civilian. One course will be designated for police and expert riders while the second course will be for novice riders. The timed courses will be open Friday and Saturday, June 13-14 for practice with the timed challenge and trophy presentation taking place on Sunday, June 15. Riders are strongly encouraged to register in advance, as spots are limited.

Riders looking to improve their skills prior to the Top Cop for Kids Motorcycle Skills Challenge can participate in a clinic hosted by Quinn Redeker who spent many years as a Police Motor Officer and instructor in California. Redeker is the current National Brand Ambassador for the BMW Motorrad Authority Division and travels the world competing in motorcycle competitions, providing demonstrations and offering clinics to police agencies and civilians. Redeker will be hosting a clinic for novice riders at NHMS on Friday, June 13 at 9 a.m. and for expert and police riders on Saturday, June 14 at 10 a.m.

The fifth annual Ride to the Racetrack cruise from Laconia Harley-Davidson to NHMS is on Tuesday, June 17 and includes two laps on the 1.6-mile full road course. Registration is $20 per rider or passenger, and all proceeds benefit SCCNH.

With the speedway centrally-located on Route 106, the main corridor to Laconia and just 20 minutes south of Rally Headquarters, it has become the perfect home-away-from-home during Motorcycle Week. Dry and full hookup camping spots are available with amazing views of the racetrack.

Riders can also visit the New England Racing Museum, located on Route 106 North in front of The Flat Track next to the speedway’s South Entrance. The museum will be open 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June 14-15 and Friday – Sunday, June 20-22. Newly-displayed historic motorcycles and race car exhibits will be featured, as the museum refreshes exhibits every year.
