BTK/Arrow Continues Streak FWT Orlando Formula/Rotax Report
Fresh off a dominating performance in the Rotax and TAG classes at Daytona, the BTK Motorsports Team was looking to continue their streak heading into the Florida Winter Tour. And that they did.
The highlight race of the first two rounds in Orlando was most certainly the epic duel in Rotax Senior by Arrow/BTK racers Kenneth Hildebrand and IndyCar Series/Indy 500 Champion Dan Wheldon during the Rotax weekend. These teammates traded the lead throughout the race and ran each other hard, yet clean, with Hildebrand edging Wheldon by .096 seconds at the line. To make the victory even more impressive, the duo finished nearly five seconds clear of third placereigning series champion Fabio Orsolon. The second day wouldn’t be as kind to Wheldon, as he was taken out on the start of the prefinal, but came from last in the final to finish 10th, matching the leader’s pace. Hildebrand would recover from a tough start in the final to finish second and grab the overall point’s lead, with Wheldon sitting third.
Arrow hotshoe Pato O’Ward had a great start to his pursuit of the TAG Cadet and Mini Max championships by finishing third & fifth in TAG, and third & fourth in Mini Max. O’Ward also had a pole and showed great pace throughout both weekends. O’Ward currently sits third in both championships.
