Racing Schedule at Epping’s All-Star Speedway Could Change

April 25, 2008

The owner of All-Star Speedway told the Board of Selectmen there will only be racing on Sundays this summer in case of a rain out, or a race running past curfew. But that could change next year.

Track owner Robert MacArthur came to Monday’s meeting to let selectmen know about the occasional Sunday races. The issue came up at last week’s meeting, when Selectman Tom Gauthier spoke about a complaint he received from a resident about the track’s Sunday racing.

“We put in the Sundays to avoid running too late,” MacArthur said. “It shouldn’t be an issue though, because your by-laws say that I can run Sundays if I want to. The (New England) Dragway has 122 events. I’ve got 26. Be prepared though, because next year, I’m going to ask for the same 122 race days they have down the street.”
