December 14, 2018 – Goshen, IN…Here at the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), we believe that Christmas is a very special time of year. In this day and age of  of an ‘always on’ and ‘constantly connected’ world, we also think it’s the best time of the year to take a break from supermodified sim racing. So we’re putting supermodified sim racing on hold for a couple of weeks.

Christmas Break is Important

We want to remind all of our SUPRS Members, fans, friends, family and business partners, that our annual 2-week Christmas Break begins at the close of business on Friday, December 14, 2018 and lasts until Wednesday, January 2, 2019. We feel this time away from sim racing is important and hope that our members have plenty of time to travel and spend time with family.

Since the beginning of SUPRS in 2004, we have stressed the importance of family and we believe that focusing on that is more important than #simracing. and it’s what sets us apart from other leagues or sanctions.

SUPRS urges all of members, friends, fans, & followers to take this time to disconnect from racing on the web, put down their cell phones, and shut off the internet to focus on the important things in life.

Submitting Join Forms

Sim racers wishing to go supermodified sim racing with SUPRS can still submit their Membership Join Forms during our break. However, we want to remind everyone that Join Forms won’t be processed until we are back in the office after the New Year on January 2, 2019.

This also means that Member’s Only Access won’t be available to new members until after January 2, 2019. We’ll do our best to get any new members set up and ready to race the 15th Annual Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby, so if you DO submit a Join Form during break, please make sure that you have done everything on your part to be ready to race. You can learn more in our F.A.Q and rFactor Quick Start Guide.

General Emails and Press Releases

We will continue to watch our email for time sensitive press releases from supermodified sanctions, tracks, and teams to decide if any are of a time sensitive nature. General email processing is on hold until January 2, 2019.

PR representatives should contact us via our Contact Page if they have something very important that needs to go out immediately on SUPRS.net. Otherwise, all incoming email from PR departments is considered bulk mail and those releases will be added to our website upon our return to business.

Heading to Canada When We Resume

After the first of the year, it’s time to get ready for the 15th Annual Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby at Mosport Speedway. We’ll fire up the SUPRS Race and TeamSpeak servers at 6:00 pm on January 2, 2018. for this race.

SUPRS Members can plan on an extended Systems Check prior to the race and should be prepared to run SUPRS Sync beginning at 6:00pm. Race times remain the same and can be found on our Schedule Page.

Merry Christmas to All

Thank you to  all the SUPRS Members, sponsors, friends, fans, and followers that supported SUPRS in 2018. We appreciate your passion for sim racing, SUPRS, and more importantly REAL supermodified racing.

We want to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas season filled with peace, love, health and happiness. May every joy and blessing be yours at Christmas time and throughout the New Year.

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.
