Race 1 of the 2018-19 Empire State Super Series Regional Championship is all the more fun with a Blind Date. The drivers won’t know until the night of the race what track they are racing on until practice ends! Watch this Blind Date with SUPRS LIVE! Come enjoy Blind Date Night. There's nothing to be nervous about! After practice, we'll pick one of the three track options to run. The Nominees Are This year three nominees for the ESS Blind Date Night are very distinct and all have particular nuances that make the racing very tough. The first nominee is Buffalo Speedway. Loosely modeled after the famed Lancaster Speedway in Depew, NY, this track is most noted for its flat corners, but more particularly, its candy-cane striped walls, lining the inside and outside of the 1/2 mile, that like to reach out and grab a supermodified as it races by. Of the three tracks in this year’s rotation, SUPRS has raced the most at Buffalo, with seven prior events contested there. The last time this track was raced on by SUPRS was January 15, 2013 and the race was won by Steve Callahan. The second option is Clover Valley Speedway, a fictional track located in Clover Valley, NY. This ¼ mile is deceptively fast with six degree banking in the corners, and has a distinct racing groove that resembles dirt. The trickiest part of this track figuring out where the track ends and outside wall begins. SUPRS has raced at Clover Valley five previous occasions with the last coming in March of 2013 when John Davidson won there. The third and final potential track for Blind Date Night is Diamond Speedway. This big, wide ½ mile speed plant is another fictional track and is located in Diamond, NY. While seemingly an easy track to conquer on first glance, the tricky, off-camber and uphill turn four is treacherous and has ruined many a supermodified sim racers night. There has never been a SUPRS sanctioned event contested at Diamond, so if this track is drawn out of the hat, there will not only be a first time winner there, but also a track record set. A SUPRS HeatFinder.net Supermodified Challenge Race Like all NASCAR Heat races on the SUPRS schedule this year, the ESS Blind Date Night is part of the SUPRS/HeatFinder.net Supermodified Challenge. This race is open to any driver that has signed up at SUPRS.net, and has the SUPRS mod and all three tracks.
