This weeks action at BDR is only a couple of days away, here's a few things to look for....
Ryan Godown and the R1 team took a Friday off a few weeks ago, they were back last week and Godown had the R1 looking VERY SOLID in his heat race action, running side by side, wheel to wheel with Duane Howard and the #4....Feature time rolled around and I was really excited to see what Godown was going to do, but on lap 1, he got bottled up in a tangle and had the right rear wheel ripped off, ending his night WAY TOO early, I'm anxious to see how he does this week, as it seemed the R1 had a GOOD set up in it....stay tuned.
Ryan Watt has had some tough luck lately in the red Purcell #6 lately....Well last week the "tough luck" followed them again in heat race action....Luckily the Purcell team is local at BDR, they ran home and brought the blue #6 to the track, which I think was only run 1 other time this season, and Watt started the race at the rear after taking the last spot in the consi....One word, WOW, did Watt ever put a show on during the Stevenson Memorial, as he battled his way to a 6th place finish using a thrilling style, the fans were loving it....Curious to see what Watt does this Friday, hopefully the blue #6 will be brought to the raceway this week.
Craig Von Dohren has had nothing but rotten luck at BDR this season....He should have 2 wins at the place, but that "luck" and other racers problems have prevented that....So this week Mike Harvey and CVD announce they are scrapping their big block plans for now, and they are taking the new TEO chassis that was to be run as the BB, and making that car their new Friday night BDR car, parking the chassis that they have been using there....Looking forward to seeing how this "switch" works out for CVD this week.
Troy Wink has been on a roll lately at BDR....Ever since they brought out a new TEO car a few weeks ago, Troy has been running up front and finishing in the top 10, last week he brought home his first top 5 at the place since 1988....Wondering if he keeps it going this week.
Earl Paules has been ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE in the BDR spts division, everyone every week just waits to see if he keeps it going, so far he's showed no signs of slowing down, maybe this week, probably NOT.
Kyle Weiss has heard his share rumblings about his return to BDR this year and him competing in the spts division after being a feature winner in the sbm ranks over the years at tracks like BDR, Gview and Susky....Well Kyle is leading the spts points right now, but "talk" has it he had to return his borrowed spts motor he's been running lately....Word is out that Kyle might be forced to give up his point lead, put his sbm motor he has at the shop in the his 21K for Friday nights and make the move up....But reports today have Weiss maybe getting a helping hand from friend and fellow competitor Andy Miller for this week, talk has it Weiss might be behind the wheel of Miller's 164th....We'll see.
This Friday night at BDR there will be a special race for the Road runner division, as they will have their normal heat and feature race, but there will be a special challenge race added for this division....Word has it that is will be a series of 1 lap match races for the top 8 in points....Thsi will interesting to say the VERY LEAST, as the RR division this year at BDR has just been tremendous....Every week there is a pack of 6-7 cars going for the top spot all race long, it's WILD and the fans love it....Needless to say, some SERIOUS bragging rights will be on the line this Friday night when the challenge is over, as there are some heated rivalries in the RR pits each week
The weather looks to be GREAT this Friday, so if ya can, get out to the NEW BDR, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS thsi weeks action, TRUST ME.
