The second half of a double-header week at
Brockville took place on Saturday, August
14th. The track surface would be a tough
one for the drivers and would not play
into the hand of O'Blenis Racing.
In
the qualifying heat Doug finished 6th
after having to avoid another car and keep
from damaging the #32. It wasn't the
finish the team was hoping for, but meant
the car would be in one piece for the
feature.
In
the feature Doug managed to work his way
up as high as 12th after finding a safe
line to run on the bump surface.
Unfortunately though the left rear tire
blew off the rim leading to a 16th place
finish. With the low air pressures in the
tires and rough track conditions the tire
was able to roll off. The team did manage
to stay in 14th in points which is one
spot better than 2009.
Only
four points events remain at Brockville
with the O'Blenis Racing Team also
participating at Applefest in Brighton and
the Fall Nationls at the end of the seaosn.
Racing resumes this week on Saturday, August
21st for a regular show at Brockville. Race time is 7pm. For more information visit www.brockvillespeedway.com.
