The New Hampshire International Speedway is well know because of the high
profile races that take place their during Laconia Bike Week festivities in
June. They also host a number of vintage motorcycle races over the summer
season. On Sat (Jul 31) and Sun (Aug 1) the US Vintage Motorcycle GP races
were held there in addition to Vintage Trials races. There are
nice camping facilities in the infield area and it look like most racers
took advantage of that. There are several large buildings that have large open
areas where most racers prepare their bikes although many also just used their
camp site.
We arrived Saturday morning and went through the tunnel to the infield. It
was a nice day for races. In events like these there are usually not many
spectators except the family and friends of the racers and some cycle riders
who ride in to watch the races. The large buildings
where the racers prepared was open for visitors to walk through and watch
the racers and mechanics at work. In a separate area the Vintage Trial races
were in progress although we did not photograph those races.
