SUPRS Thanksgiving BreakLittleton, CO – April 11, 2016…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), competitors are rolling into the Rocky Mountain State to compete at Colorado National Speedway for the third year in a row.
The “Tax Day Double Trouble Twins” will showcase the talents of the SUPRS competitors during the day as well as during the evening, making this race as challenging as trying to file your taxes with the Internal Revenue Service by Tax Day.
Each 50 lap feature will have its own set of time trials to help set up the line up. As an added twist, drivers may choose to qualify for second Twin or they can “stand” on time from first Twin. Only the top four qualifiers based on all times from both rounds of time trials will be eligible for the second feature inversion redraw. The first race will feature a Fast Four Dash and a heat race.
Located in Dacono, Colorado National Speedway is Colorado’s only NASCAR sanctioned track and home to the Englewood Racing Association,(ERA). The ERA is the oldest real supermodified sanctioning body in the country and races at CNS about once a month.
The current All-Time supermodified track record for the real track is 13.831 set by Davey Hamilton in 1993. The current one lap record as recorded by transponders belongs to multi-time ERA champion Harold Evans. Harold set the record during a heat race in 2011 when he turned a 14.149 second lap.
The details are astounding as is the racing action at CNS online by “Smoke”
The online version of the track was converted from the NASCAR 2003 platform by “Smoke” and can be downloaded from the Mod Squad. The realism and detail put into the online version is truly something to behold and many will recognize some of the iconic CNS features situated around the track.
Ray Sand, Jr. set the current SUPRS official fast time for the day version in 2014 at 14.359 and then last year broke Steve Callahan’s one year old record with a lap of 14.297.
Sand, Jr. also has the most SUPRS wins at Colorado National with two while Rob Warren and Steve Callahan each have one.
“Steady” Steve Callahan and “The Sandman” Ray Sand, Jr. won by large margins at CNS in 2015.
Callahan has recently come on strong at the end of the season and as a former winner and track record holder at CNS, along with having two feature wins in a row the last two weeks, is one of the drivers to watch in Colorado.
Practice starts at 8:00pm and Time Trials for the first Twin will take place at 8:45pm. Racing gets underway at 9:00pm with the drop of the green flag for heats.
