October 27, 2020 – Myrtle Beach, SC…Dave Ohh of Union, CT didn’t have any of the bad luck that most of the rest of the pack did at the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Black Kat Klassic Tuesday at Myrtle Beach Speedway and pranced away with the win by nearly two seconds over Brad Keysor. Keith Powell finished in third place, narrowly holding off Ryan Cloonan at the finish line. Bob Gangwer rounded out the top five finishers.
Seventeen drivers took the green flag for the wild and crazy supermodified sim racing event and 12 finished. Throughout the night, there were several multiple car accidents, and plenty of missing parts including wheels.
Earlier in the evening, Dave Ohh obliterated the existing track record that Rob Warren had set in 2018. With a lap of 15.434 Ohh lowered the time to beat by over half a second. Ohh also won the Crack the Whip race which put him on the pole for the feature. Heat race wins went to rookie John Held and veteran Steve Callahan.

Next Race
Next week, on Election Day, November 3, SUPRS celebrates the 17th Anniversary of it’s first sanctioned race.
The oldest supermodified sim racing sanction plans to remember their past with a NASCAR Heat race using the first mod built in-house for SUPRS called “NHSM”, (NASCAR Heat SuperModified), and will run at Mike Jackson’s South Carolina Speedway, a track that SUPRS has never competed at and one of the oldest modded tracks in the NASCAR Heat community.
Since it’s Election Day, and to allow members plenty of time to cast their vote in the General Election, things get going a little later than normal with practice starting at 8:30pm. It will be a quick night with just a feature that will use special format. The drivers will line up based on their original SUPRS join date, with the driver having been a SUPRS member the longest to start on the pole of the 75 lap feature. It’s SUPRS way of paying respect to the great core of members that have been with SUPRS for a long time.
Fans can watch the SUPRS 17th Anniversary Special after they vote and the polls are closed on SUPRS LIVE! @ 9pm est.
