Hudson Speedway race report for Oct. 14th racing
Hudson NH- Hudson Speedway concluded its 65th consecutive racing season on Sunday October 14th. Racing got started late after an hour and half rain delay but with the help of drivers and spectators driving around the wet oval in race cars and personal vehicles the track was dried quickly.

Max Chaput of Nashua NH led the first half of the feature while Nick Dombroski of Derry NH and Andrew Morin of Nashua NH were closing in on him.

Rain Date Announced for 50th Milk Bowl
A third attempt at the $160,000 50th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl will be run at Barre, VT’s Thunder Road on Sunday, October 28th with a post time of 1pm. The three-segment race has qualified 30 cars, of the 51 who attempted, for what is considered the “Toughest Short Track Race in America.”
Long-time Promoter Tom Curley was careful in choosing the day for the biggest race in Vermont’s history, as many of ACT’s leading drivers will participate in Lee USA Speedway’s OctoberFest event this coming weekend. “We certainly do not want to conflict with one of the best facilities on our Tour, so we chose to run on Sunday, October 28,” said Curley.
Along with the Milk Bowl will be a $20,000 Late Model Reserve Feature, as well as Mini Milk Bowls for the Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen and Allen Lumber Street Stocks to decide their track championship battles.

“Halloween at 100 MPH” for Devil’s Bowl Speedway’s Vermonster 150 Enduro
$1,500 top prize could await October 20 winner; Spectator Races and costume contest on tap
WEST HAVEN, VT – It’s hell on wheels and Halloween at 100 miles per hour when Devil’s Bowl Speedway opens its gates for the Vermonster 150 Enduro on Saturday, October 20 at 1:00pm. The rock-‘em-sock-‘em survival race will be held no matter if the forecast calls for rain, shine, snow, or vampire attack. The event is open to any car, mini-van, or light-duty pickup truck that meets specifications.
Entries have already been filed from all corners of Vermont and eastern New York State, and many more are expected leading up to the race. Should 50 or more racers compete, the victory will be worth a cool $1,500 – all indications indicate a full field will be on hand. Enduros are run regardless of track or weather conditions, and typically contain a few metal-crunching, bone-jarring, crowd-pleasing wrecks and lots of wild and crazy racing action. Races are only stopped by a red flag in the event of an emergency. Vehicles are virtually street-legal with only safety modifications allowed. All teams are required to provide a scorer for the event, and the first driver completing the full 150-lap distance will be named the winner.
