New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) is a top destination for hundreds of thousands of motorcycle riders visiting the area during Laconia Motorcycle Week, June 13-21, with on- and off-track events throughout nine days of motorcycle mayhem. The 103rd Annual Loudon Classic® headlines a week-long motorcycle celebration that features racing, demo rides, vendors, camping and more and serves as a major kickstart to New Hampshire’s summer tourism with many riders enjoying local restaurants and exploring local businesses during their visit.

“We’re thrilled to welcome thousands of riders to New Hampshire Motor Speedway as they enjoy the Granite State on two wheels,” said New Hampshire Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager David McGrath. “Riders will find thrilling racing, the opportunity to test out the latest bikes and upgrade their ride with gear from various vendors on site.”

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 during opening and closing weekends of the event. The United States Classic Racing Association kicks off the two-wheeled on-track action June 12-14 with the FIM North American Vintage Championships. A variety of classes, ranging from 1950s tank shifters to modern small bike twins provide a wide range of vintage racing action.

Northeast Motorcycle Road Racing (NEMRR) will compete in round three of racing, June 19-21 to close out the week’s racing action. The weekend will be highlighted by the longest-running motorcycle race in America, the 103rd Annual Loudon Classic® on June 20. The Loudon Classic® has been held on site since long before the speedway was built, when it was simply a road course named Bryar Motorsports Park.

NHMS will host the largest demo ride course in the area June 13-20 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, Indian and Can-Am. 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 fourth 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 four divisions of riders – expert police, novice police (new this year), expert civilian and novice civilian. One course will be designated for expert riders while the second course will be for novice riders. The timed courses will be open Friday and Saturday, June 12-13 for practice with the timed challenge and trophy presentation taking place on Sunday, June 14. Riders are strongly encouraged to register in advance, as spots are limited.

The sixth annual Ride to the Racetrack cruise from Laconia Harley-Davidson to NHMS is on Tuesday, June 16 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 are also invited to visit the New England Racing Museum on Route 106 North in front of The Flat Track next to the speedway’s South Entrance – an easy stop for any rider. The museum will be open 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June 13-14 and Friday – Sunday, June 19-21. Visitors can explore newly displayed historic motorcycles, race cars and rotating exhibits that are refreshed each year. General admission is $10, and once in, attendees can return as many times as they’d like throughout the week.
