WMMP Season Opener Moved to May 10 after NHMS Postponement
Open Practice Tentatively Scheduled for May 6
Woodstock, NH – White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP) officials announced today that the 2020 season opener has been rescheduled to Sunday, May 10 at 3:00pm. The change has been made to avoid a conflict with the Northeast Classic at Loudon’s New Hampshire Motor Speedway, which was recently postponed to Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9.
The entire WMMP program that was originally set for May 9 will now be held the following day. Car show setup begins at 8:00am with the annual show held at the track from 9:30 to 11:30am. The pits will be cleared following the Car Show. Practice begins at 12:00pm with a 3:00pm post time. All five regular WMMP divisions are on the card.
As part of the schedule shuffle, an open practice has also been added on Wednesday, May 6. The pits will open at 4:00pm with practice for all WMMP divisions from 5:00-7:30pm.
Both the WMMP season opener and open practice are contingent on the current New Hampshire state stay-at-home order ending May 4 as planned. The WMMP schedule may be subject to additional changes if further state or federal mandates are issued.
“As things stand, we think bumping the season opener to May 10 is in the best interests of everyone,” WMMP managing partner Cris Michaud said. “We know there are many drivers, crew members, and fans who want to attend both the Northeast Classic and WMMP opener, and this switch allows them to do so. We’re continuing to monitor the situation, and if further schedule changes become necessary, we will announce them promptly.”
The 2020 White Mountain Motorsports Park Season is now slated to begin Sunday, May 10 at 3:00pm. All five divisions have a full card of racing to kick off the 28th season of racing. The annual Car Show will be held from 9:30 to 11:30am with practice at 12:00pm. Admission is just $12 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12, and $25 for a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids). The event schedule remains subject to change pending further state and federal developments.
