Dunlop is proud to announce its role as the title sponsor for the 2025 Dunlop Loudon Classic, the oldest and richest motorcycle road race in the United States. Scheduled for June 13-15, this year’s event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire is set to achieve new heights with an impressive purse of $400,000 distributed across four exciting classes.
Following the landmark celebration of the 100th Classic in 2023, which featured a remarkable $250,000 purse, and the subsequent $300,000 purse in 2024, the 102nd Dunlop Loudon Classic is positioned to elevate American road racing. NEMRR Executive Director John Grush stated, “We aim to foster growth in our sport by providing an unparalleled platform for both professional and local racers. The record-setting purse generates considerable media interest, enabling us to highlight our riders and teams while backing their racing pursuits throughout the season. We take great pride in offering such a significant opportunity for positive exposure within the sport.”
The centerpiece of the three-day event will be the four premier races on Saturday. The Loudon Classic Main Event will pay an impressive $285,000, showcasing the top Middleweight GP class from NEMRR along with MotoAmerica Supersport Next Gen bikes. The top 32 qualifiers will have the chance to compete in the Main, with the champion of the 2025 Dunlop Loudon Classic earning a historic $60,000 prize.
In what promises to be a thrilling addition for 2025, the Streetfighter class, dedicated to naked twin-cylinder and three-cylinder motorcycles, will feature a substantial $100,000 purse. Additionally, the total purse for the Classic and Streetfighter classes includes $25,000 and $10,000 in bonus incentives, respectively, for local participants. The popular Pro Thunderbike and 500 Superbike classes will also make a return, each offering a $7,500 purse.
