Port City Kick-Off Started at Jennerstown
SUPRS first Non-Wing supermodified race happened in August 2005 at Jennerstown Speedway using the NASCAR Heat platform. A 10 race schedule of feature races that were 40 laps was released for that summer of racing and 19 drivers were in attendance for that first event, (The Independence Day Twin 25s). John Davidson and Sean Gibbs picked up the feature victories and Jim Crannell went on to become SUPRS first Non-Wing Supermodified Champion.

Race Length Reduced
For just the third time in the race’s 15 year history, the length of the feature has been reduced to 50 laps instead of 75. Citing a short turn around time from the end of the Gold Crest wing season, and a desire to allow members more time with their families on race night, series officials have cut 25 laps off the opening night’s marquee event.
Race Details
Official practice for the 15th Annual Port City Kickoff begins at 8:00pm. Drivers meeting is at 8:30pm with racing set to start at 9:05pm with the first of two 10 lap heat races prior to the 50 lap feature.
Full details for the Port City Kickoff is on the SUPRS Schedule. SUPRS members should check the Forums for the latest info on server times and passwords.
