And that's just one thing that's happening at this world famous superspeedway during the event. Just think this could be you this year!
Need to hear from real folks about the event? We've got that too:
From Richard in Nashville, TN :
"I've read your crazy newsletters for years but never actually believed they could be what you said. Last year my buddies and I decided - what the heck, there's nothing else to do so let's go. Needless to say we were blown away with your event. I've never seen so many bikes, people and parties. This is definitely one of the best spur of the moment decisions we've made. Look for us again to be back."
From Mary in St. Pete, FL:
"My girls and I were searching for that perfect girlfriend get-away and we happened to stumble across Biketoberfest®. Since we're all riders we thought it would be fun to ride over for the day and see what all the fuss was about. We never made it back across the state because we had so much fun we didn't want to leave until the last bike rode out. The best part was all the other ladies out there riding too - nothing like it. We'll be back and maybe even bring the guys next time."
From the Craig Family - North Carolina
"We've decided to hold our family reunion at Biketoberfest® from now on. My daughter is even thinking about getting married there next year too."
