With the most options and the largest demo ride course in the area, New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been a hot spot for all things motorcycles during the 93rd annual Laconia Bike Week. On Friday, the on-track action heats up as some of the best riders in the region show off their skills during more than 30 races on the 1.6-mile road course.

The three days of intense racing will be highlighted by the 93rd running of America’s longest running motorcycle race on Saturday. The 93rd annual Loudon Classic is a 12-lap Middleweight Grand Prix race, featuring the top riders in the Loudon Road Race Series (LRRS), including Christian Cronin of Loudon, N.H., Eric Wood of Ashburnham, Mass., Scott Greenwood of Dunbarton, N.H., and defending Loudon Classic champion Shane Narbonne of Tyngsboro, Mass.

Following the running of the Classic, at 6:30 p.m., the “hardest working band in rock ’n’ roll”, Jackyl, will headline the frontstretch stage. Blending heavy metal and southern rock, Jackyl will provide a 75-minute concert for fans and racers.

The race weekend will feature different series and types of motorcycles, including two days of side-by-side racing from the Moat Mountain Road Course Series, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Supermoto, the United States Classic Racing Association (USCRA) Side Cars and many others from the Loudon Road Race Series.

Demo rides from the latest and greatest that the top motorcycle manufacturers in the world have to offer, including Harley-Davidson, Can-Am, Yamaha, Ducati, Victory, Indian, and the Polaris Slingshot will continue through Saturday.

Grandstand tickets for on-track racing will be $15 or $25 for infield access, while camping will run for $25 per day. A ticket for Saturday’s Loudon Classic and concert will also cost $15, with the option to front stage access for $10 more.
