I had to Google. It's officially Northeast Velodrome, formerly (up until 2009) the New England Velodrome.

They share track time with a karting association so it's bikes on Tu, Th, Su, karts the other days. Shallow banking, 14 deg, 333m track. Used to be shorter but they moved the sprint lane up a bunch so that there's an "apron" now. Before the apron consisted of concrete pillows (to keep karts from going too low) and dirt.
