Gold Crest members have the advantage of being able to run for the SUPRS Gold Crest Championship. Our winged supermodified season is generally 40 races long and runs from October of one calendar year to May of the next. The formats throughout the championship season vary. This will be our 20th consecutive season with the winged supermodifieds and will be contested using the rFactor and NASCAR Heat games on paved short track ovals of one mile in length or less.

Generally speaking, you won’t ever see a ‘straight up’ start at a SUPRS event whereas the fastest time trialed driver starts on the pole of the Feature Race. SUPRS is a paved, oval, short track racing sanction and we use those types of formats to set our starting grid for our main event. Many of our formats are older than SUPRS because they come from the real racing world, but there’s always something for everyone, especially in our longer winter season for the winged supermodifieds.
On most nights during the wing supermodified season, (October-May), the “Elite 8” (top eight time trial positions), “SUPRS Six” top six time trial positions), or “Fast Four” (top four time trial positions), will not have to run a Heat Race. They are locked into top eight, six, or four positions of feature and are then inverted by Pill Draw, Dash finish, Individual Pill Draw, or Points Won Handicap.
For the most part, the Feature Race, or A-Main, will have up to half of the starting grid inverted. At the maximum this would be the top 12. The most recent winner can start no better twelfth or last of the eligible inversion cars, so long as he’s qualified into the inversion.
Generally speaking, when all entered drivers have to run a Heat Race because of format, only Heat Race points are tallied and Time Trial points are not. This will most often happen during our non-wing supermodified season.
On most nights when the format for the event calls for the Elite 8, SUPRS Six, or Fast 4 to be locked in, with the rest of the field being sent to heats, Time Trial points are awarded to the Elite 8, SUPRS Six or Fast 4 qualifiers, and Heat Race points go to the rest of the drivers. This way of paying championship points most often happens during the wing supermodified season.
We never award Championship Points for Fast Car Dash, Pursuits, or Crack the Whip type races, although points for these types of races may be kept independently of the Championship for special awards. Points are never awarded for B-Main races.
We never award Championship points for events like the Fast Car Dash, Pursuits, or Crack the Whip type of races. However, points for these types of races may be kept independently of the Season Championship, and it pays to do well in these races as there are often special awards at the end of the season.
Likewise we never pay points of any kind for B-Main or Consolation type races.
