8/18/10 – With all eyes on Knoxville Raceway & the
Knoxville Nationals, Bill Balog & the B Squared decided to head to the
Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, WI for a local 410 show. The team used the track time
as a test session to prepare for the upcoming IRA shows at the facility.
No qualifying is
used Wilmot’s weekly show, so it was straight in to heat race action. Bill
would take the green from the 7th position. He wasted little time in
working his way towards the front. By the half way point he had worked his way
in to 1st place. He would go on to open a sizeable lead &
collect yet another heat race win.
By virtue of passing
the most cars in the heat, Bill would be relegated to an 8th place
starting spot in the feature. He knew he had his worked cut out for him if he
wanted a top 5 finish. After taking the green flag, he fell in line as the car
was just off a tick. As the race wore the track conditions changed enough &
Bill was on the move towards the front. He was inside the top 5 by lap 10. On
lap 14, the right rear tire went flat & Bill would stop to bring out a
caution. The crew would get the tire change in time to rejoin the race at the
tale end of the line up. Once again, Bill quickly went to work on getting his
way back to the front. By the time the checkered flag flew on lap 25, Bill had
worked his way to a 4th place finish.
This weekend the BLZ
/ Gaerte Engines 17B will be in action at the Wilmot Raceway, in Wilmot, WI on
Friday & Saturday for a local 410 show & then for an IRA event.
