Rockingham Park is one of the historical landmarks in Salem, NH created in 1906 it has been in business for 104 years. The one-mile long racetrack built in 1906 has held countless races whether it be horses, snowmobiles, or any all terrain vehicle; it has been used as an area for many to gamble on the weekends. This site served as host to a number of historical occurrences. Before the return of racing, Rockingham Park hosted the first aviation meet in New England in 1911, where Lieutenant Milling set a new altitude record of 1,600 feet in his biplane. The track also served as the base for the 14th US Army Corps of Engineers during World War I. The racecourse served as a bivouac for soldiers prior to voyages to France. The establishment has hosted motorized racing, on July 4, 1925 the track was used for a 100 miles race with an average speed of 76.8 miles per hour, motorcycles races also were held. With the success of the events, a 2-mile board track was built, the AAA sanctioned the track, the most recognized sanctioning body of the day. On October 31, a 250-mile automobile race was held on the board track. On August 21, 1926, Curly Fredericks, on an Altoona, set the record for the fastest speed that a motorcycle that would go around the track. In 1928, the track held the final motorcycle national championships to be competed on a board track. The 1929 event was held at a dirt track because the inherent dangers in board track racing were discovered, dangers which led to the demise of the sport. The boards on the board track were rotting by 1929 and the board track was torn down. The racetrack was idled again when on July 29, 1980 a fire destroyed the grandstand. The track remained closed until May 26, 1984. Rockingham Park was the first place to receive car gates for starting races in 1998.
