Kosciuszek & Borkowicz win at Spring Super Cup Rd1
The opening round of the Spring Super Cup Series kicked off the year with nearly 220 entries from all over Florida and the east coast in attendance for Florida’s first major race on astroturf. The weekend started off with some unscheduled rain on Friday, but luckily for the racers, round 1 was held at the massively covered Beachline Raceway in Cocoa Beach. After Saturday morning practice, racers had one qualifying round that started at 12:30pm and another round on Sunday morning. Typically, the Super Cup is a one-day affair and with only two qualifiers using both rounds to determine your overall starting position, every round of qualifying is important to make it into the A-mains. The racing was exciting and everyone got to experience a new type of racing on the astroturf. There is definitely a learning curve to running on the high grip astro, but most took it in strides and had a great time. In 2WD Modified, Florida native and local superstar Daimon Borkowicz (Team Associated) was able to TQ over teammates, Alex Kosciuszek, Paul Wynn, JR Mitch, and Jason Ruona. Unfortunately for Borkowicz, he had a poor start in the main only to battle back to regain 2nd. Taking full advantage of Borkowicz’s poor start, Alex Kosciuszek (Team Associated) would run away from the field and take the win on his first trip to Florida. Rounding out the top 3 was AE’s Paul Wynn.
