Volume No. 1 Issue No. 4 Date 1\/9\/05<\/h1>\nGary Waldron may have just picked up his first win of the 10th Anniversary Gold Crest Division Championship Season, but it certainly wasn’t his first ever.<\/p>\n
He accomplished that feat in his very first race with SUPRS way back in January of 2005. “Mutley”, as he has been known for some years, wasn’t the only racer to wear the rookie stripes at this \u00a0Bristol Motor Speedway race. Chris Meyers, Russ Goldthwait, and Kevin Marine. Marine would go on to be the designer of our first major in-house mod for NASCAR Heat.<\/p>\n
So join us as we take a look back at the names and events that has helped shape this league and feel free to comment below about the results, news, and notes from this 2005 copy of SUPRS Weekly.<\/p>\n
SUPRS Weekly Volume No. 1 Issue No. 4 Date 1\/9\/05<\/h1>\nGoshen, IN 1\/5\/05\u2026<\/strong><\/em> Gary Waldron has followed Supermodified racing his whole life, but Waldron made a point of making sure everyone else was following him in the 38 lap SUPRS feature at Bristol Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m still mopping myself up,\u201d exclaimed the Wyoming, MI driver as he received the accolades of his fellow drivers. \u201cI just tried to be smooth, run my line and be patient because I\u2019m still learning all of this.<\/p>\n Waldron was making his first appearance in SUPRS competition in the beautiful black and red Michigan Hill Gang sponsored #10 but he looked like a veteran as he ran third in his heat, set fast time of 14.104 seconds and led the feature green to checker against the largest field assembled yet for a SUPRS contest. \u201cThis seems so real that I start shaking when I do it. I think after that race, even Chris Perley would be proud!\u201d said Waldron who is a big fan of 2 time International Supermodified Champion Chris \u201cThe Rowley Rocket\u201d Perley. Waldron\u2019s win marked third time this season that a driver has led the feature start to finish, but also noticeable was the fact that he was the 5th different driver to post a feature victory in 7 races. Rounding out the top five were Kevin Marine, Bob Gangwer, John Davidson, and Chris Nicastro.<\/p>\n Joining Waldron in the rookie ranks for Bristol were Russ Goldthwait of Fulton, NY and Kevin Marine of St. Paul, MN. Marine is one of the few members of the SUPRS league that has never seen real supermodifieds in action but was immediately drawn to the spirited friendly competition of the league. A veteran online sim racer, Marine fared very well in his first outing posting second quick time of 14.192, and running second in his heat as well as the feature, \u201cI tried my darndest to catch the #10 and as soon as I\u2019d pick up a tenth he\u2019d open it back up again,\u201d commented the driver of the Shaker Designs #7, \u00a0\u201cI had a blast though, everything ran good on my end and although there was a little bit of rubbing out there, that\u2019s part of racing.\u201d<\/p>\n Goldthwait didn\u2019t run as well as Marine, but had fun nonetheless, stating, \u201cIt was a lot different racing all these guys that practicing with the computer cars, I just tried to stay out of everyone\u2019s way and have fun.\u201d Goldthwait brought the BurnBoys.com #12 home in a respectable 7th place for the feature after moving up one spot from his starting position.<\/p>\n Chris Meyers also made his SUPRS debut and had his hands full racing with keyboard controls. \u201cI did my best to stay out of everyone\u2019s way and just finish the race using a keyboard,\u201d said Meyer\u2019s who hails from Amherst, OH and is the pilot of the Supermodified Central.com #23. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting a steering wheel and being more competitive next week,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n Conspicuously absent from the night\u2019s festivities was second place point man Chris Lucas. Lucas who is an over the road truck driver had mechanical problems with his truck and was unable to make the call to green. \u201cI hate that I couldn’t race with you guys tonight, I know John, (Davidson) is getting closer in points and I really thought I had a shot at winning at Bristol tonight,\u201d stated Lucas once he made it home.<\/p>\n The Supermodified Ultimate Paved Racing Series travels to west to visit the extremely fast Mesa Marin Speedway located in Bakersfield, CA for the SupermodifiedScorecard.com 50 on 1\/12\/05. \u00a0Come out and join the fun of simulated Supermodified racing with the \u201cUltimate Online Short Track Race Car!\u201d<\/p>\n TIME TRIALS-<\/strong><\/p>\n #10-Gary Waldron, Wyoming, MI-14.104<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #7-Kevin Marine, St. Paul, MN-14.192<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #91-Chris Nicastro, Cleveland, OH-14.192<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #25-Bob Gangwer, Goshen, IN-14.248<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #5-John Davidson, San Diego, CA-14.382<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #22-Jim Davidson, Elyria, OH-14.700<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #72-AJ Truax, Hannibal, NY-14.866<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #23-Chris Meyers, Amherst, OH-14.869<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #12-Russ Goldthwait, Fulton, NY-15.022<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #69 Tanya Matthews, Hannibal, NY-15.090<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n 13 Lap Heat Race Random Start-Top Three Finishers Receive Points<\/strong><\/p>\n #5-John Davidson, San Diego, CA<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #7-Kevin Marine, St. Paul, MN<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #10-Gary Waldron, Wyoming, MI<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #25-Bob Gangwer, Goshen, IN<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #91-Chris Nicastro, Cleveland, OH<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #72-AJ Truax, Hannibal, NY<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #23-Chris Meyers, Amherst, OH<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #69 Tanya Matthews, Hannibal, NY<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #12-Russ Goldthwait, Fulton, NY<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #22-Jim Davidson, Elyria, OH-DNF<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n 38 Lap Feature Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n #10-Gary Waldron, Wyoming, MI<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #7-Kevin Marine, St. Paul, MN<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #25-Bob Gangwer, Goshen, IN<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #5-John Davidson, San Diego, CA<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #91-Chris Nicastro, Cleveland, OH<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #22-Jim Davidson, Elyria, OH<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #12-Russ Goldthwait, Fulton, NY<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #72-AJ Truax, Hannibal, NY<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #23-Chris Meyers, Amherst, OH<\/p>\n<\/li>\n #69 Tanya Matthews, Hannibal, NY<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n There will be a league meeting Tuesday January 11 at 8pm to discuss several race format issues including changes to heat races and the special last lap tribute planned for the Randy Witkum Memorial, server issues, paint and skinning issues, using the NO-cd patch and game issues.
