Vintage racing meets tuner cars and drifting when Hot Import Nights, Club Loose North and the Vintage Racing Celebration highlight the month of August at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The now two-day event returns to the speedway Aug. 25-26 with car shows, on-track action, drifting on multiple courses, exotic car ride alongs, food, family fun and overnight camping.

"This is the perfect event for car enthusiasts from any generation," said David McGrath, New Hampshire Motor Speedway's executive vice president and general manager. "We'll have cars here that the young guys of today like along with classic and vintage cars from the good ol' days. Plain and simple, if you like cars, you've got to be here for Hot Import Nights and the Vintage Racing Celebration."

Hot Import Nights is the nation's largest and most unique outdoor car, music and pop-culture festival attended by thousands of automotive and entertainment enthusiasts each year. Combined with burnouts from Club Loose North drifters and on Sunday, the Vintage Racing Celebration, this event makes for a weekend for car lovers to see hotrods from all generations and backgrounds. The Vintage Celebration will continue on track for its second and final day on Monday, Aug. 27 with classic and vintage race cars.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway serves as host for many other clubs and events in August including:

The Sunapee Racing Team, a New England-based cycling team, holds their races at NHMS every Thursday through Sept. 13. They participate in and promote the sport of competitive cycling with a keen emphasis on its long term viability and growth.

The New England Region of the Sports Car Club of America fuses together a love for sports cars and a love for racing. NERSCCA will be at NHMS Aug. 3-5.

Founded in 1995, the Sports Car Driving Association, LLC provides the driving enthusiast the opportunity to experience high performance driving in a safe and controlled environment.

The NASCAR Racing Experience returns to NHMS Aug. 10-12. Get behind the wheel and drive a NASCAR race car on "The Magic Mile" by yourself. If you don't want to drive, go for a NASCAR Ride Along.

The fifth round of the Loudon Road Race Series, the fastest racing on two wheels, is Aug. 18-19. The LRRS features seven weekends of Championship Cup Series motorcycle racing on the 1.6-mile road course.
