Boyce gets back into the saddle after a three year
leave!
November 5th,
2005
Roseburg, Or.
After racing outlaw cage karts only once since 2002, Sprint
Car driver Brendan Boyce gets back in the groove of winter racing. He suffered motor problems in qualifying
which put him in the 11th spot out of a 15 car field. He got things squared away though and came
from 6th in the heat race to win it!
Because of the poor qualifying effort he was to start inside second row
of the B-main. He would pass for the win
on lap 10 and check out from the field.
He drove up from the 10th starting spot in the A-Feature to a
4th place finish.
Point’s leader after 2nd night of two day
show!
November 6th,
2005 Roseburg, Or.
After the first night shake down of a new car, Boyce felt
much more confident about tonight. He
went out last for qualifying and ended up in the 5th spot. Qualifying 1 car out of the trophy dash put
him on the pole of his heat, which he would go on to win. The coin toss was heads up, so that put the
un-sponsored (at the time) #65 car to start inside row 3. A hard charge to the front started as soon as
the green flag dropped. He got up to
second after only a few laps and had the 10j car of Jake Waddell in his
sights. On lap 16 he passed Jake for the
lead and would go on to win his first 500cc outlaw kart race of the 2005\2006
winter season.
A consistent run shows patience and lengthens the points
lead!
November 12th,
2005 Roseburg, Or.
Only a couple hundredths of a second separated his 8.79
second lap from quick time of the evening.
It put him 3rd overall and started him on the outside poll of
the trophy dash. He went on to win the
dash and take over the points lead from the 10h car of Steven Horner. Boyce ran a very cautious 2nd
place in his heat race. In the main
event, it looked like it was going to be a repeat of the week before as he
opened up a straight away lead on the second place car of Kyle Miller. But with just a few laps left, Matt Hein and
Colten Allen got together right in front of Brendan running him off the track
and into the second position where he would finish. But the consistency would lengthen his points
lead.
The day beau of a new sponsor.
November
19th, 2005 Red Bluff, Ca.
After an impressive run at the most aggressive and
competitive go kart track in the state.
The un-sponsored and un-painted race car that drove to victory lane the
week prior would show up to Red Bluff a little bit brighter. Black, White, and Orange were the colors of the now, “Doyles
Harley Davidson” racing team. However,
the first time at a new track wasn’t a great one for the team. A struggle with the fuel system in qualifying
set him to start in the rear of every race.
He battled up to the 4th position from a 12th
starting spot, but had to go to the rear after loosing the chain in a race for
3rd. He would charge back to
the 5th position though, which would qualify him for the C-main
event. It looked like Brendan would come
through the field with ease. But after
getting tangled up with a local runner, his exhaust had flattened, and ended
his night.
Two day clean sweep!
November 26th,
27th Salem,
Or.
On Saturday night, the 15 car field went to school by the
teacher Brendan Boyce. In heat 1 and 2,
Boyce ran away from multiple time track champions, Kyle Miller and Mike
Carrothers. And in the A-feature, he
would pass the # 14 of Brian (spark) Osterman on lap 5, and never look back to
win.
On night two, the wet weather didn’t slow Boyce down a
bit. He would check-out in both heat
races. A broken shifter lever while
lining up for the A-feature would cause Brendan to make a quick repair and
start last in the event. But that didn’t
affect the “bullet” what so ever! He would not only drive up to take the
lead. But he would go on to lap the 3rd
place car and sweep the weekend in style by winning everything he entered both days
and go on to win his 3rd main event out of 5 races in Oregon!
