So far in 2025 Mother Nature has captured the win during numerous ACT sanctioned events. Starting with multiple postponements for the Thompson Icebreaker, moving the Northeast Classic at NHMS back a week, Oxford Plains being postponed till October, opening weekend at Thunder Road getting pushed back weeks, and White Mountain season opener being cut short. It’s been a battle since the start. Saturday May, 17th the White Mountain Motorsports Park kicked off 2025 with a threat of rain coming in the late afternoon. Officials did everything possible to get the big show and as many of the weekly divisions in as possible. With post time being moved up 15 minutes the Kids Division set the bar with an 8 lap qualifying heat race. All qualifying rounds were completed, with a quick turn around time for the ACT Flying Tiger Tri-State Series. The Tigers kick off Feature racing with their 75 lap main event in leg one of the ACT Tri-State Series and the Central Asphalt Paving Triple Crown. In what was a pretty quick Flying Tiger event that took about thirty-five minutes, the Dwarf Cars hit the track for Segment #1 that went green to checkered. The Kids Division then took the track with hope to get their season opener in. The green flag had dropped and the feature event was underway. On lap 5 after a spin in turn 4 the yellow flag had come out with rain starting as officials worked over the restart line up. After running about 8 laps under caution the rain continued to pick up with lightning in the area forcing the track to pull the plug on lap 5 of the Kids Division event. The Kids Division will finish the remaining 10 laps of their HK Powersports feature event this coming Saturday May 24th. The Late Model feature event from opening day will kick off the May 31st program as the Strictly Minis will start off Kancamagus 150 Saturday on June 7th as the Milton Cat American Canadian Tour heads to North Woodstock.. The Pro All Star Series events from yesterday May 18th, will be made up on Sunday July 28th as they will conclude a big weekend of racing at White Mountain, as the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour returns for the Thunder in The Mountains 200 on Saturday July 27th.
Next Saturday White Mountain is back in action for the first Walls Ford Platinum Late Model Series event. And for the first time all year long the weather is looking to be in our favor. We can’t wait to get back to North Woodstock, New Hampshire this Saturday with our coverage being sponsored by The Farmyard Store and Newport Rental!
