The second annual Borgers Rumble On The Ridge for Hoosier Racing Tires
TQ/Asphalt 600 Sprints was expected to live up to every expectation and more as twenty
four TQ/600 Sprints would take Starter Tyler Knitter’s green flag. From the very start of the
day the bumping and banging was evident. In heat #1, Buddy Sload took the Colin Martin
owned TQ for a wild ride down the front stretch. the alpha where out and looking to get to
the front of the line ASAP! Knowing that track position would be key for the 75 lap feature
everyone went hard in the heats!
Driving the Mark Janisch owned 750 TQ , fan favorite, Bing Metz was able to
"Bing Back to the Future" and earn two solid top 5's in his heats landing him a top ten
starting position for the feature. So impressed, editor and chief, Len Sammons vowed to
make Bing a star!
The northern CanAM TQ series sent down their power house, Brandon
Zavarella. Brandon was able to keep pace with the lighter and smaller Asphalt600 crowd
earning himself a decent spot for the feature. The Bangor Steel Boys, Rob Vivona and Pat
Van Varick made quick work of the field in the heats and would be starting up front for the
feature. One of the favorites, Geo Sutton driving the Metz Ride4rent would get caught up in
an incident and would have to now work from the rear. Everyones kid, Billy Pauch Jr.,
climbed into the MMF #46 owned by George and Marylin Van Varick and quietly completed
the qualifying round up front.
