You could win a Burgers’ Smokehouse Thanksgiving Turkey!

The succulent slow smoked turkey has a value of over $60 and comes from a family company that was started in 1952 by E.M. Burger in Moniteau County Missouri.

Bugers’ Smokehouse can trace it’s roots all the way back to the 1920s when E.M. Burger’s parents startedBurgers' Smokehouse logo curing hams on their local farm. Now known as one of the largest companies of its kind, the time-honored traditions of hard work and special personal touch have never been lost, to the point that, according to the Burgers’ website, each ham still starts the curing process by being hand-rubbed with a seasoning blend dating back to one developed by the family over 100 years ago.

The 11th Annual Turkey Shoot is the second race of the 2015-16 Gold Crest Wing Championship Season to use the SUPRS NW V1 non-wing supermodified for rFactor. Not only is that a bit of a change from prior Turkey Shoot’s but after many years of the race being held at Tri-Park Speedway, this year’s race will be held at Memphis Motorsports Park for the first time since 2007.

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. The last time the race was held at Memphis in 2007, Florida’s Kris Heveron was the winner over Dave Soja, Myles Maxon and a bevy of other talented sim racers in the 17 car field.

Nom, Nom, Nom thanks to Burgers’ Smokehouse!

Last year Carl Becker of Lansing, MI led the entire 50 lap race to claim his first Turkey Shoot victory, while in 2013, Joey Callahan not only claimed his first Turkey Shoot, he won his first ever SUPRS feature. Both drivers capitalized on their starting position which is set by  the six lap Turkey Trot qualifying race for the Elite 8 time trialed cars.

Goshen , IN – November 23, 2015…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), is taking the week off of racing so that members can spend time with family for Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series

We believe, given the state of affairs in the world, that it more important than ever to take what little precious time we have and spend it focusing on the care and love of the family. It is with those ideals in mind that from the very beginning of our existence as an online sim racing league, we have felt that family and friends are more important than getting another sim race in.

The SUPRS Race Server is open for practice but will close at 5pm Wednesday November 25, 2015 and will remain closed until Sunday November 29, 2015 when it will open for SUPRS Sunday Night Test-n-Tune at 7pm.

We’ll also be taking a break from social media posting beginning 5pm Wednesday November 25 to focus on family. We encourage our members and followers to disconnect and do the same. We’ll be back online on November 28 with social media updates for SUPRS, supermodified and sim racing.

We’re Thankful for all of our members, friends & supporters in the sim racing and real supermodified world! Happy Thanksgiving to ALL from your friends & family at SUPRS!
