About This Event
Glemseck 101 returns to Leonberg for a three-day festival of 1/8-mile sprints, live music and a large dealer mile. The event combines competitive sprinting, test rides and a motorcycle-focused expo across the Glemseck site.
Expect Friday evening setup and opening, with the main race and show programme running across Saturday and Sunday.
1What to Expect
Glemseck 101 is centred on the 1/8-mile sprints and a sprawling motorcycle marketplace, with live music and manufacturer test-ride areas on site.
What makes it worth the trip:
- World-famous short‑drag sprints with multiple classes and guest matchups.
- Over 100 exhibitors on the Shopping Mile for parts, custom bikes and gear.
- Live music, test-ride zones and a paddock atmosphere that brings riders close to the action.
Best way to experience it:
Arrive early on Saturday to secure a good viewing spot near the sprint strip and walk the dealer mile before peak crowds. Use on-site maps and the official schedule to catch headline sprints and stage performances; wear ear protection for races and music.
Good to know:
- Festival entry is free, but some special areas, test rides or VIP features may require separate registration.
- The event site is at Hotel Glemseck in Leonberg; parking fills early so consider public transport or arriving before midday.
