SUPRS Twentieth Christmas Special Moves to Famed Berlin Raceway

Share SUPRS:

December 10, 2023 – Goshen, IN…It’s the most wonderful time of the year…for a supermodified sim racing event! The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Twentieth Christmas Special 25 on December 12, 2023 is the final show of 2023 for the stars of SUPRS. For the first time in the history of the race, and only the second time in SUPRS history, the famed Berlin Raceway, will be the scene of the action. 

With 13 degrees of corner banking and 9 degrees on the short straights, the track is one of the trickiest in North America. It’s also one of the cornerstones of real supermodified racing, having run the cars even before the famed Oswego Speedway in New York.

A full format including Time Trials, Reindeer Dash for the SUPRS Six, and Qualifying Heat Races lead up to a 25 lap Feature Event where the SUPRS racers hope to bring home an early Christmas present when the checkered flag drops.

That present comes from Burgers’ Smokehouse and it’s a delectable country smoked ham shipped to the doorstep of the highest finishing Gold Crest Member in time to enjoy Christmas dinner with family and friends.

Friends, fans, and followers can have a jolly good time watching the live broadcast of SUPRS Twentieth Christmas Special 25 “Where Speed Belongs” at Berlin Raceway with SUPRS LIVE! Featuring Live Streaming Video, up to the second Timing and Scoring, and insightful, fun commentary, SUPRS LIVE! is the perfect place to watch all the action while you cheer on your favorite SUPRS racers.
