Hudson NH – Billy Ryder won the John Bourdelais Jr. Memorial race this past Sunday at Hudson International Speedway. Bourdelais Jr. was a fixture on his Dads racing team at Star Speedway. His days were spent working alongside his dad and his nights were spent in the garage with his dads race team or fishing and camping with his friends. Always quick with a joke, his easygoing nature is fondly remembered by his family and many friends. He had raced some Enduros and at the time of his death in a tragic traffic accident three years ago a brand new streeter was being built for him by the Bourdelais team.
