Practice for this three-race combination NASCAR Heat, rFactor, and rFactor2 begins at 7:30pm, with the Drivers Meeting taking place at 8:40. SUPRS 15 th Anniversary Special “Triple Tuesday” takes place on Election Day, November 6, 2018. That part of the vision was decided upon from the beginning, knowing that staying super focused on supermodifieds is the only way to truly help people from other forms of online racing understand what makes the real supermodified so special.
While on occasion SUPRS has run NASCAR Tour type modifieds, and a few sprint car races, the main focus has been, is, and always will be wing and non-wing supermodified racing. You won’t find any go-karts, dwarf cars, late models, dirt modifieds, or off-road trucks at SUPRS. While many other leagues or sanctions may race supermodifieds, they also run many other forms of race cars. Sometimes, that philosophy has come at the cost of losing members, or being ridiculed publicly, but at the end of the day, the sanction has stayed true to its original goals and has survived through thick and thin without compromising its integrity. SUPRS has remained consistent in its goals and Mission, choosing to focus more on a family atmosphere and giving and not concentrating on wins, chaos, and flaming fellow league members. From that day forward all membership donations were used to help injured supermodified racers through the Dion Parish Memorial Benevolent Fund for Supermodifieds with a separate account set up for prizes and costs. While gaming leagues asking for donations was nothing new, the difference was, donations made to SUPRS weren’t for awards, server costs, or personal gain. In April of 2005, SUPRS founder John Davidson and Bob Gangwer determined that there was more to be done and after an intense meeting with all the SUPRS members that saw several threaten to leave, implemented a “donate to race” policy by offering two types of membership. When the last race of that first season ended, dealing with warp, corrupted files, and lag was still something they had to deal with, but the community had grown to 36 different drivers, including the first real supermodified racer to join SUPRS ranks, Joey Payne, Jr., and the first ground-up, in-house built mod, (NHSM) by Shaker Designs, featuring two different types of supermodifieds had been released.
RFACTOR 2 NASCAR TRACKS MOD
When Bob Gangwer and John Davidson took over the reigns of a foundering sim racing league in November of 2004, they immediately released an ambitious 38 race schedule even though there were only four members.īy the time the end of the first season rolled around, SUPRS had their first in-house mod builder, had their first dedicated race server, and released an updated version of the Mike Jackson PSTM psuedo supermodified they were racing. What initially began as a few guys getting together to race NASCAR Heat on one track, with one type of car, using 56k dial-up internet, and taking turns hosting on race night on the same rig they raced on in 2004, quickly turned into a lot more. Like most long-running organizations, SUPRS started out very small.
Humble Beginnings Quickly Turn into Growth The exhibition takes place at SUPRS Oswego Speedway, updated to take advantage of the more modern rFactor2 gaming engine. Moving to a new release of their rFactor wing supermodified for race two, the SUPRS racers will take on Richmond International Raceway to showcase a brand-new Belfab supermodified chassis and an articulating wing that’s never been done before.įinally, the last 33 lap show will showcase SUPRS yet to be released rFactor2 supermodified which breaks new ground for supermodified sim racing. SUPRS newest addition to rFactor, the Belfab, was built to meticulous detail by owner Kevin Timmins from original blueprints provided by the late Jim Belfiore.
