Race Track License Approved to Operate Hudson Speedway

One of the agenda items during the most recent Hudson Board of Selectmen meeting was in regards to a license application for Hudson Speedway.
It was explained during the meeting, how as part of it, there are a number of conditions required.
“Attached please find a License to Operate a Motor Vehicle Race Track for the Hudson Speedway,” Town Administrator Roy Sorenson wrote in a memo to the Board of Selectmen. “The premises have been inspected and the Inspectional Services Division and the Police Chief have provided a list of conditions that must be met by the applicant. In addition, a second license for the Hudson Driving School has been prepared separate from the regular Speedway license.”
Hudson Police Chief Tad Dionne, in a memo to the Board of Selectmen, outlined a number of different conditions the police department recommended should be followed in order for the license to be issued.
“The Police Department is requesting the following conditions be met in accordance to Hudson Town Code, Chapter 264 regarding the Hudson Speedway filing for a Motor Vehicle Race Track License to operate in 2025:

1. All race vehicles will be equipped with mufflers or noise reduction devices.
2. No night time racing while Hudson Public Schools are open and strict adherence to concluding afternoon races at 5:45 p.m., and evening races at 10 p.m.
3. Owners of the racetrack will ensure that patrons are advised, via signs and announcements, of no parking on Old Derry Road, Robinson Road and Cutler Road. They should urge patrons and race teams to depart the Hudson Speedway via Robinson Road to Route 102 at the conclusion of races.
4. A minimum of two police officers will be assigned to the racetrack and paid by the owners of the Hudson Speedway. The officers will be required to work one half-hour prior to beginning the race to insure safety and inspect parking issues. If Hudson Police Officers are unable to fill the detail, the Hudson Police will offer the detail to Mutual Aid outside agencies.
5. All laws and ordinances regarding the proper and safe service of alcohol to patrons be followed to the letter.”

The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved the Hudson Speedway License to Operate a Motor Vehicle Race Track for the 2025 racing season and for the Hudson Driving School with the conditions required by the Police Chief and the Inspectional Services Division.
