Weak Bike Week?

[Dave R]

The traditional attendees are getting older and less active and there's not much in Laconia to draw younger folks in. Perhaps the return of AMA sanctioned road races at Loudon would bring the younger generation back in. Loudon will be hosting AMA Supermoto races starting tomorrow, and from what I have heard, they have made improvements to the road racing track specifically to bring an AMA road race back. While not as popular as NASCAR, AMA road races are very well attended at other race tracks. It's probably easy to forget, but Laconia bike week was originally all about the racing. Today, it's irrelevant to 90% of the bike week attendees.
