After 2-Week Break, SUPRS Returns to Action January 2, 2018

December 15, 2017 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), resumes racing after a two-week Christmas break with the 14th Annual Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby and Can-Am Challenge on January 2, 2018 at Mosport Speedway. This zany, wild and crazy supermodified sim race is always unpredictable, never boring, and more fun than you can throw a snowball at.

Crazy Format

The Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby has the craziest format of the wing season. The SUPRS racers have to Time Trial, run a heat, qualify into a “Canadian Pursuit” as they race against each other and with a teammate.

The slowest driver from time-trials matches up with the fastest from time trials, the second fastest and the second slowest, and so on, to form the Snowball Derby Challenge teams.

Challenge Rewards Best Team Total

Each team member goes through the night trying to gain the most points possible . At the end of the night, the two-man team with the most combined points gets the overall Snowball Derby Challenge Championship bonus of 10 extra points to each driver.

Could Be a New Winner

Of the drivers sitting in the top five of the SUPRS 2017-18 Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Championship, only one, the current point leader, Rob Warren has won the Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby. Warren has the most feature wins this season so far, (five), and is hoping to win his third SUPRS feature in a row. With Jeff Weber being the only other active driver besides Warren that is a former winner of this race, it’s a distinct possibility that a new Crazy Canuck winner will emerge at the end of the night.

It’s a special time of year, and one where we can show others that, while our virtual family is important, our real families should be the focus of the season. So we’re putting supermodified sim racing on hold for a couple of weeks. We’re Taking a Break, So Should You We want… Keep Reading

Christmas Special for SUPRS

December 10, 2017 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), tradition of ending the year with their Christmas Special continues on December 12, 2017. For the second year in a row the race takes place at a new venue and for the first time, it’s part of the Empire State Super Series tour.

First Time at Airborne

Airborne Speedway is the site of the action on Tuesday and is the first time that SUPRS has raced at this Plattsburgh, NY track. Airborne hosted the International Supermodified Association several times, so it’s not so unusual to be racing virtual supermodifieds there. Also, because it’s a New York track, this race kicks off the 2017-18 Empire State Super Series and is the first of an expanded five race schedule for the regional tour championship.

Tricky and Technical

Getting around Airborne Speedway smoothly has proven to be a challenge for the SUPRS racers during pre-race testing. With flat, tight corners that cap the drag strip straights, the track is certainly one of the more technical that the sim racers visit this season.

They have found that braking is just as important as mashing the throttle. If a driver wants to win, he’ll need all of his skills to negotiate the tricky turns using precise braking, steering, and throttle control throughout the quick 25 lap sprint.

On Dancer, On Prancer

The six lap Reindeer Dash sets the starting positions for the Fast 4 qualifiers based on their finish.

Everyone else will go to heat races to be lined up based on their season won points handicaps. The way they finish the heat race is the way they will start the 25 lap feature behind the Reindeer Dash drivers.

Christmas Gift for Winner

Whomever takes the checkered flag first on Tuesday, he’ll take home a Burgers’ Smokehouse Christmas Ham for his accomplishment.

Burgers' Smokehouse hamThe fine folks at Burgers’ Ozark Country Hams have been providing simple traditions since 1952 when they built their first “ham house” on their farm in Missouri.

With complete attention to quality and customer service, this family owned company continues to do things the old-fashioned way taking great care in the time-honored traditions of curing, aging, and smoking superior quality products.

Christmas Countdown

The SUPRS Christmas Special takes place December 12, 2017 beginning with practice which starts at 8:15pm. Qualifying follows at 8:45pm and Racing gets underway at 9:00pm with the Reindeer Dash.
