Goshen, IN – November 28, 2016…The Wing Side Up Twin 25s for the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), is a double dip of daring challenges and thrills for supermodified sim racers willing to brave the big banks of Bristol Motor Speedway.

For the 13th year Bob Gangwer’s Wing Side Up on the World Wide Web will sponsor the night of supermodified sim racing action. This year marks the second season that the drivers will use their rFactor supermodifieds.

The event, which has heat race and two 25 lap features has become a favorite of SUPRS racers as they test their nerves and skill while turning sub-11 second laps on a track that leaves little margin for error.

With multiple bonuses like the  SUPRS Double Down, SUPRSChallenge, and SUPRSCharger, the Wing Side Up Twin 25s provide plenty of unpredictability and tension as drivers vie for valuable Gold Crest Wing Championship points. For the Double Down, a driver can double his feature finish points if he can win both features.

With the SUPRSChallenge, the driver that starts last in each feature can claim 20 bonus points if he can make it to the front to win. The SUPRSCharger award is good for 10 bonus points to the driver that advances the most places from his feature starting spot.

While all of those may seem somewhat easy, the Double Down has only been claimed twice and the SUPRSChallenge has never been claimed at this event. Doug Heveron and John Davidson are the only drivers to have won both features on the same night. Heveron doing it in 2007 and Davidson in 2012.

Adding to the challenge of racing at Bristol, the first race includes time trials and heat to set the feature starting field while the second feature is a complete inversion of the first feature’s finish.

The SUPRS racers are ready to double the action and double the fun on the big banks of Bristol Motor Speedway Tuesday November 29, 2016. Official practice starts at 8pm with the Driver’s Meeting at 8:30pm. The drivers will take to the track for Time Trials at 8:45 and the racing is set to go begin at 9pm.

Supermodified and online sim racing fans and friends can savor the action and view timing and scoring of every SUPRS rFactor race in an instant, including the 13th Annual Wing Side Up Twin 25s via the SUPRS LIVE! page.

You can learn more about this race on the SUPRS schedule page.  Regular season updates as well as real supermodified and sim racing news are popular features on the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series Facebook page and @SUPRSOnline.

Grab a win and win a Turkey!

The winner of the race receives a Burgers’ Smokehouse turkey, delivered to the doorstep in time to enjoy it with the family for Thanksgiving dinner.

For the first three years of the Turkey Shoot it was held at the big 3/4 mile track and varied in length from 63-40 laps. John Davidson won the very first show in 2005 with Chris Meyers picking up one of his first SUPRS feature wins in 2006. Florida’s Kris Heveron was the winner in 2007 in a 17 car field.

Burgers' Smokehouse turkey

Nom, Nom, Nom thanks to Burgers’ Smokehouse!

2008 saw a move to Tri-Park Speedway where the race stayed for the next six years. Ray Sand, Jr. won that first Tri-Park show then did it again the next year to become the first back-to-back winner.

In 2010-11 Dave Biro III duplicated Sand, Jr.’s feat before Rob Warren took home the Burgers’ Smokehouse Turkey in 2012 and donated it to injured supermodified racer Jeff Russell.

Joey Callahan not only claimed his first Turkey Shoot in 2013 at Tri-Park, but  also won his first ever SUPRS feature. Carl Becker was the winner in 2014 and both drivers capitalized on their starting position which is set by the six lap Turkey Trot qualifying race for the Elite 8 of Time Trials.

Last year the race moved back to Memphis and used the SUPRS non-wing rFactor mod. After the start was called back, the 2015 race went green to checkered with great battles throughout. Ray Sand, Jr. won his third Burgers’ Smokehouse turkey and donated to fellow SUPRS racer Myles Maxon who had recently lost his grandmother.

Practice for the SUPRS 12th Annual Turkey Shoot at Memphis Motorsports Park begins at 8:00pm. The Fast 4 qualifiers will take the first racing green flag of the night at 9:00pm with the six lap Turkey Trot to set the first two rows of the 40 lap main event.

Veterans Day Special Sim Race to Honor Those Who Served

November 6, 2016 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), continues it’s long standing tradition of striving to bring about awareness of the men and women who have served in the United States Military with the running of the 2016 Veterans Day Special on November 8, 2016.

SUPRS Veterans Day Special
SUPRS hope is that all vets will have the proper health and medical care they need after serving their country.

This year the race will be held for the first time at Levi Signature Speedway, a fictional rFactor track built by Gator that should be a real challenge to the SUPRS racers with it’s high-banked tri-oval configuration.

So far this season, there have been six different winners in seven races and the SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Championship points have been in a constant flux among the top five.

Steve Callahan is the most recent winner on the circuit and hopes to use the momentum gained from his North Carolina Swing Championship to catapult him into his second Veterans Day Special win and first since 2009. He’ll have to contend with myriad of tough competitors including his teammate Keith Powell, Joe Achzet as well as former Veterans Day Special winners”Rocket” Rob Warren (2014), and Carl “Bonzai” Becker (2013).

SUPRS believes that there is a real and definite crisis in the United States where our veterans do not receive proper medical care and are often left languishing without a job or home to live in because of addiction , physical and mental health issues.

Because of that, SUPRS will be making a donation to the Infinite Hero Foundation in support of their mission to provide access to “rehabilitation programs that address the unique needs of veterans and their families.”

Practice for the SUPRS Veterans Day Special 75 at Levi Signature Speedway begins at 8:00pm with racing slated to go at 9:00.

Supermodified and sim racing fans alike can view timing and scoring including track telemetry of the Veterans Day Special with SUPRS LIVE! To keep up with your favorite SUPRS racer in an instant just point your browser to www.SUPRS.net/site/live.

The Soldier

It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves under the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

-Charles M. Province
