New Hampshire Motor Speedway officials announced Tuesday that the 97th Loudon Classic motorcycle event at the track has been postponed to Aug. 29 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
NHMS executive vice president and general manager David McGrath released the following statement:
“It’s hard to think about delaying the enjoyment of an annual event that’s almost a full century old which attracts so many people, but the health, safety and well-being of all those involved in hosting and attending the Laconia Motorcycle Week Rally is of the utmost importance to us.
“It’s not easy, but it’s the right thing to do. As a motorcycle rider myself, it’s hard to wait, but I am looking forward to enjoying the week of activities in August. All of us here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway are eager to welcome riders to our beautiful lakes region and provide a fun pit stop full of entertainment, vendors and exciting two-wheeled racing action as they make their way up to rally headquarters in Laconia.”
A release from the track stated: At this time, the June 20-21 Loudon Road Race Series and Granite State Legends Cars Road Course Series events are still on schedule to bring great racing and entertainment to our fans, however, the 97th Annual Loudon Classic will move to August 29 to wrap up Motorcycle Week at NHMS. Schedule changes will be posted to our event schedule on our website, and if there are any major changes to our events, we will immediately post updates on our website and social channels.
