Laconia NH has long been associated with motorcycle racing from the original nearby Belknap track to the nearby New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon NH. Up until 2003 there were vintage races around the time of the Laconia Bike Week at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH (See our CD 03_09). But starting in 2004 the USCRA started doing an exhibition race right in downtown Laconia. So on Sunday June 12th 2005 the USCRA held the 2nd annual downtown Laconia vintage races. The race teams set up around the railroad station and in addition to race bikes there were lots of vintage street bikes to see also.

We got there early enough Sunday morning to see the track being laid out. When each race started many streets were closed down until they ended. Spectators could get thrilling views of the cycles weaving through city streets. And all this was free and there was even ample free parking. This is a great event for anyone who likes to be around vintage bikes.
