After weeks off due to rain the Blazavich Boy's Racing Team headed to Blanket Hill Speedway for the Cot-Tek Express 600 sprint $500 to win Apple Fest and brought home the big WIN! πππ
Dave 1st with the win, Austin 3rd, and Colton a DNF. Dave heat race #1 win. Austin heat race #2 win, Colton 2nd in heat two! Wow.Now for the long race recap post.
The 25 lap feature sure was eventful to say the least. The track was super tacky, fast, and one of the best it's been all season to race on!
Dave made his season debut in his Hyper Racing 600 Sprint starting in P 4 in heat #1. After a few laps Dave took the lead and drove away from the rest of the pack bringing home the heat race win. The top two had to redraw which saw Dave starting in P 3 for the feature. In the feature Dave battled between 4th and 3rd place for quite awhile. With a few laps to go starting in 2nd on a restart he was able to take the lead from Austin to lead the last 5 laps bringing home the checkered! Dave showed the boys he's back and not washed out quite yet. π€£πππͺπ
Austin had a great evening. Austin started in P 3 in heat #2. Austin quickly took the lead and won the heat race in dominating style. It was one of the smoothest and consistent he has run all season and it showed as he pulled away. With the redraw it put him starting on the pole for the feature. Again, Austin took the lead on the start and would pull away from the rest multiple times in a caution field crash fest race. Each restart he would slowly pull away running consistent laps. Unfortunately for Austin his Dad, Dave started beside him with a few laps to go and Austin came in turn 1 a little hard giving up the lead to his Dad. He then ran 2nd until the last lap where he hooked the cushion got passed and ended up bringing home 3rd. He raced awesome and we couldn't be prouder. This kid sure has it! πͺ
Colton in his Hyper Racing 600 Sprint knew before the race started he would have his work cut out for him with a car that still isnt running full power. Dave worked for two weeks replacing everything including putting his other engine in and still did not run full power to start. Colton was to start P 2 in heat #2 and opted to start in the back. With a car that on starts has no power once going Colton raced consistent and hard surprising us all and bringing home 2nd behind his brother. After the redraw this put him in P 2 for the feature. In the feature Colton ran good consistent laps for quite awhile in 2nd place behind his brother until he bobbled, got sideways in turn 3 and dropped a few spots. He ran in 4th for a few laps until he was hit hard in turn one and ended up rolling over. It was an unnecessary hit that ended up rolling Colton over onto his roof where he sat. This was Colton's first roll over. It was a soft one so no worries there. Unfortunately that ended Colton's run for the night. The plan this week is more work to get it running correctly for him to run the rest of the season the way we know he can with a car that is 100%. It's been a frustrating season. For what he had he did a great job. The track awarded Colton with the hard luck award for all that happened. He sure deserved it! Thanks to Nick Freeburg for sponsoring that award! πͺ
