WheelsOfGrace.com Volume 8 Issue 6 29 public opinion of the motorcycle and motorcycle riders." While the times have changed somewhat, and wives, sisters, and sweet- hearts are sometimes riders themselves, the rally continues to honor those tenet sentiments. In 1924, the American Motorcycle Association was officially established, and took over sponsorship of the Gypsy Tours. With growing interest and financial capabilities, the number of events quickly expanded from only a handful of races and shows to over 200 separate events. One of the most defining additions to the New England Gypsy Tour was a road- racing event at Gilford, New Hampshire's Belknap Mountain Recreation Area, where a popular hill climb also took place. In 1938, Fritzie Baer was instrumental in bringing the annual Gypsy Tour Race from Old Orchard Beach, Maine, to Gilford. Interestingly, this first race occurred in September of 1938, rather than during the usual June gathering. Over the years, as motorcycling increased in popularity, riders arrived earlier each year to enjoy the many scenic routes and country roads the Lakes Region and beyond have to offer. As a result, the rally became a week long event wrapping up on Father's Day, with local businesses happily catering to guests during the relatively short tourist season. In 1962, the hill climb event at Belknap Recreation Area was discontinued, and in 1964, the road race was moved to what is today known as the New Hampshire International Speedway. However, this didn't stop visitors from flocking to the Weirs from as far as the Western united States like the Carters from Prescott AZ, featured in some of the photos. In fact, it greatly expanded the area of the rally, while Weirs Beach remained the heart and soul of it all. More and more events began to pop up across the Lakes Region and its popularity continued to grow. Due in part to the sheer size of the gatherings, and the word "gypsy" falling out of favor, the event soon became known as the New England Tour & Rally, and eventually, the Laconia Motorcycle Week we all know and love. In the forward of the 35th Annual New England Gypsy Tour and 100-Mile National Championship Road Race, Fritzie Baer wrote, "ere is no doubt in the minds of any motorcycle rider in the United States that Laconia today is synonymous with the greatest Gypsy Tour and motorcycle race to be held anyplace in the country." at was 1955. We like to think Mr. Baer would say the same thing today.
