Race Recap
Team BOSS Racing returned to the fan friendly
Canterbury Downs racetrack for the ISOC Canterbury
National in Shakopee, MN over the weekend. The
new ISOC race day program featured all Pro and
Semi-Pro riding in one jam packed day. For the
first time this season sun light drenched the
track and racing fans blitzed the facilities’
expo floors and vendors filling Canterbury Downs
to near capacity.
Heat racing was once again the showcase of Team
BOSS Semi-Pro rising star, Paul Bauerly. Paul
had a great 2nd place start in his Stock heat,
but heavy pressure had Paul finishing 4th and
sending him to the ever-intense Last Chance Qualifier.
In the Semi-Pro LCQ Paul came out of the hole-shot
perfect, his FXR Ski-Doo was hooking up and tuned
to perfection landing him a first place finish
and a back-row start for the Semi-Pro Stock final.
With a modest start at 11th place, the Paul Bauerly
passing show was on; Paul passed rider after rider
to finish an amazing 4th place, bringing his FXR
Shock Doctor Ski-Doo back into the limelight.
Paul continued his success through the Semi-pro
Open class heat, landing him a second after leading
the first few laps. In his final Paul had a good
hole shot and finished once again in the top-five
in 5th place.
Pro Super Stock perfectly illustrated ISOC “Bar-to-Bar”
racing, with many Pro’s swapping paint and graphics.
Robbie Malinoski would be up first in his heat
finishing 6th while teammate Dave Allard put his
sled in 5th place rounding a front row spot for
the final. With Robbie finishing one spot outside
of a transfer position, Robbie geared up for the
Last Chance Qualifier. With a solid hook-up thanks
to Stud Boy, Robbie was running good in 3rd, but
at lap three, a set-up flaw forced Robbie to pull-off
and not make the final. Dave Allard had a mid-to-back
start in the final, ending up with an 11th place
finish.
Pro Open racing was scary fast. Team BOSS brought
their BRP muscles to show what their rigorous
testing at their private facility had done. Robbie
placed 3rd in his heat and Dave placed 5th, sending
both Ski-Doo riders to the front row of the final
before the record setting Canterbury crowd. Within
a handful of laps, Robbie was in 5th and chasing
down the lead pack. At lap ten, in one of the
toughest races of recent memory, Dave was second
to last as he began picking off riders one by
one, lap after lap. At lap 19 Robbie switched
lines while approaching lap traffic; with low
visibility Robbie launched his sled issuing a
red flag and automatic disqualification to end
his stellar run. Dave Allard continued to push
his 167 Ski-Doo to a remarkable 7th place finish,
a solid top ten run.
