New Venue Part of Re-Imagined Event
In 2017, the always popular “Xtreme Tuesday” went through a name change and became the “New England 50.” The original event was modeled after the International Supermodified Association, (ISMA), race of the same name but when ISMA stopped running this show on an annual basis, SUPRS came up with a new idea.
With so many fantastic and historical tracks in New England and available to run in both NASCAR Heat and rFactor, the sanction decided to rotate the event throughout these East Coast ovals on an annual basis. Because of the history of supermodified racing at Thompson, SUPRS is also able to stay true to their Mission Statement of exposing supermodified racing to the general online sim racing community while promoting real supermodified sanctions and tracks.
