Just throwing some "tidbits" out there from BDR last Friday night....Duane Howard is just "on another planet" right now at the place, he picked up his 3rd win and 4th overall (1 win was the bb opener) at the track in "God's country"....Sean Merkel had a tremendous run, he battled side by side with Howard, lap after lap, for about 6-7 laps, swapping the lead back and forth, TOTALLY CLEAN, they never touched....After Howard rustled the lead away from him, Merkel had to do it all again with defending track champ Jeff Strunk the rest of the race, but this time Merkel held on to take the 2nd spot, AWESOME RUN for the #118 team....Ray Swinehart had a strong effort on Friday night, most of the time he was rim ridding around the place, settled in for 4th....And the Living Legend, Billy THE KID Pauch was subbing for his son Jr in the PPB #8 (Jr was in New Hamshire running on the blacktop), THE KID came on late, after an early skirmish saw him restart at the rear, and took home 5th, his second top 5 in as many starts....Doug Manmiller had "injured" his car early in the evening and the #00 was aprked for the night, he ended up driving the Randy Thomas #24 and put it in the feature....Nice to see Dan Hineline start to get the #15 going in the right direction, as he made the feature field last Friday night....Great to see "The Lil' Dude" Kurt Spotts back at the Diamond last Friday, he qualified his #70.
The Spts race seen a fromer winner in the division make it back to VL at BDR, Ryan Moyer ha his blue #5 HOOKED UP and took home his first win of the year....Last week "The Duke of Earl" Earl Paules flipped his #4, this past week he was back, and was on his way to the front, took 2nd on the last lap over Mike Mamanna....And it was a GREAT RUN for Mamanna hinself bring home the #71 3rd last Friday night....Tough luck two weeks in a row for Brad "Pap Pap" Brightbill, this past Friday, Brightbill made it 3 wide in back to back laps going into turn 3 looking for the lead, and just when he put the #19 up front, going into turn 4, the balck and green machine broke ending Brightbill's bid for the win, TOUGH LUCK is following this guy around right now at the place, he's SUPER FAST but not having any results to show for it.
The RoadRunners put on another GREAT SHOW this week, with first time winner Neal Bressler taking the 909 to VL, it was a POPULAR win to say the least....On a side note, it was GREAT to see Bud Vidal and his #17 back on the track, after a recent fire at the residence destroyed just about everything, it really was a SUPER feeling seeing the whole #17 back at BDR, and Vidal went out and won his heat, GREAT JOB.
Don't forget, this week is the 29th annual Georgie Stevenson Memorial, and event that helps raise $$$ for sick children....If you can only make one show at BDR this year, try and make it this show, as it's run for a GREAT CAUSE....The sbm's will run a 35 lap feature paying $3000 to win....The spts will be running a 25 lap feature paying $1000 to win....And the RR's will be running a 20 lap feature paying $300 to win....So come on out to the NEW BDR this Friday night, you'll have a GREAT TIME.
