Motorcyle Week, Classic Wrap Up at NHMS

Loudon, NH — An exciting weekend of motorcycle racing will wrap up today with several thrilling events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Once again fans can check out the Sidecar Racers Association as they begin the day with a practice session before they take laps around “The Magic Mile” this afternoon.

Formed in 1968 by a group of Toronto motorcycle enthusiasts, this three-wheeled series is one of the most exciting and challenging forms of racing and is the only form of motorsports where the driver and passenger steer the vehicle.

For the fourth consecutive year the speedway will host New Hampshire State Legislators Parade Lap. Several renowned state political figures will take to the track for the ceremonial parade beginning at 11:45 a.m.
