The move was announced by Woodhull management and Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By VP officials jointly on Monday afternoon.

“We’ve been watching the forecast since late last week and it has only gotten worse,” Woodhull’s Ted White said. “We have been in a similar situation before with this event (last year), made the call early and allowed our fans and racers to change their time off from work.

The event is Round No. 7 of the nine-race STSS Halmar North Region.

Pit gates open at 3 p.m. Wednesday with grandstand gates unlocked at 4 p.m. Hot laps begin at 6 p.m. and racing gets the green flag at 7 p.m.

Grandstand admission is $20. Seniors (ages 62 and up) and Students (ages 7-11) pay $10. Kids 6 and under FREE. Pit admission is $35, with no license required.
