Selectboard demands written explanations from Vermont Sun after safety photos; says it may withhold support
Summary
After reviewing photos and video frames of recent Vermont Sun races, the board asked the organizer (Steve) for written explanations and warned it could withhold permission for future races until concerns about participant and driver safety are addressed.
The board reviewed photos and captured video frames of recent races organized by Vermont Sun and discussed correspondence involving Bambi Moore from Vermont State Police. Board members said several photos show unsafe interactions between racers and motorists and that past promises by the organizer had not fully addressed town concerns.
Julie said the town would copy the state police and requested written responses from the organizer explaining each pictured incident. "The board doesn't support your races going forward until that time," Julie said, asking that Vermont Sun provide answers by the end of the month so the board can evaluate whether to allow future events. The board did not take a formal vote to ban races at this meeting but established a deadline for documentation and said it may decline to support future events if responses are unsatisfactory.
