Royer
Snags a Pair
Following a frightening roll-over in the
street stock class, won by Derek Roberts (outlaw10), Mark Royer
(mroyer) came back to grab his first short track win ever in the
modifieds class and immediately followed that with his second
checkers ever in the late models class.

A Blistering Night at Peach State
Racing teams battled blistered right front
tires all night at Peach State this past Sunday as Hoosier Tire
Company tried a new compound to improve the usually slippery
surface at the track. "The compound simply held too much
heat and if drivers weren't very careful entering, the right
front blistered and burned up very quickly." explained company
spokesman Reyor Kram. Nevertheless, Joe Roberts (butchie) managed to
take two classes, street stocks and modifieds, leaving the 75
lap feature late model checkers for Denis Balsar (liteman).

2008 is Coming ...
...
and it's Going to ROCK!
The Hooters ProCup Online Racing Series (HPCORS) front office
has been working hard during the off-season to make HPCORS the
best short-track experience you will find on the internet in
2008. While sticking with our traditional format of following
the real USAR Hooters ProCup schedule, week for week, track for
track, we've gone a step beyond and added a number of new
attractions this year.
So... pull the old short-track car from the
garage, tune up the engine, dust off the steering wheel, touch
up the paint and get ready for bumper-to-bumper, door-to-door,
fender-bending action! Short-trackin' like it
oughta' be!
Non-driving, In-Race Officials
We have secured non-driving, in-race
officials for EVERY ProCup
race in 2008. That means we will have live,
on-the-spot calls and corrections throughout. This will allow us
to add a few rules to more closely simulate the real Hooters
ProCup such as:
Lucky Dog - USAR style - See
Rules Page, Rule 3p
Tail End of Lead Lap - Also a USAR rule - See
Rules Page, Rule 3q
and more...
1:24 Diecast Car Awards
(Click
on picture for larger image.)
 HPCORS
has launched it's popular
Diecast Awards Program again for the 2008 season. This year
program we will give drivers
three(!) 1:24 scale diecast replica awards
of their online cars.
And, don't be thinking just the top drivers
will win them. Sure, the overall Championhip Series champion
will win one, but we've devised a pro-am, real-sim fantasy
system that gives everyone a good shot at winning the other two.
Basically, you pick your favorite real-life Hooters ProCup
driver as a teammate and then your combined team score is used
in your quest for the diecast cars.
This will keep a wide range of drivers
competitive for the diecast awards and at the same time connect
our interests closely with the real USAR Hooters ProCup as we
root for our selected real drivers to score well.
For details and eligibility see the
Diecast Awards webpage.
To take part, you must apply
to the award program by sending
me (Mark Royer,
mroyer1@comcast.net) the following information as before
01-Mar-2008 (your real-life selections will be locked in as of
that date):
Your Name and Screenname
Your e-mail address
Your car number
Your selected ProCup division (North or South, you choose)
Your selected real-life USAR HPC driver and car number
To help HPCORS drivers select their real-life counterparts, here
is a few of good sites to peruse:
USAR Hooters ProCup - Official Website
USARFans.Com - top notch fansite
ProCup Digest - detailed HPC statistics (including for
individual drivers)
Expert and Open Sets for
ProCup
HPCORS ProCup alternates week-to-week between fixed
and open set races. Experience has taught us that most short
track designers put the bulk of their efforts into the <expert>
set instead of the <fast> set. So, for our fixed set races we
will use the <expert> set. While any particular track might
vary, on the whole, we believe we will have a better season
racing <expert>.
Touring is anything but
Boring
As many of you know, the Hooters ProCup schedule has
many off weeks sprinkled in and HPCORS fills those weeks with
it's popular Touring Series.
We are still in the throes of puzzling together the 18-event
2008 Touring Series schedule.
We will probably start the season with the
same format as last year, a 25 lap street stock race followed by
a 50 lap modified race then capped by a 75 lap late model
feature using NR2005. We may split the long year into two
shorter 9-event seasons.
And....
We are taking a serious look at the
about-to-be-released ARCA Sim Racing game (promised before
March). While this game is rooted in the rFactor physics engine,
it is a highly modified version specifically adapted to oval
racing. Tony Stevens, HPCORS President, has done a lot of beta
testing on the game and is excited by the results. Depending on
when the game is released, when OLR rolls out it's support for
the game, and all of our driver's ultimate opinion of it,
we may give ARCA Sim Racing a
trial run using
the Touring Series as the vehicle.
