The Local Joe series was a 6 race format that consisted of 2 different tracks, Reo Raceway in Rockport, IN and SRI Raceway in Louisville, KY. Mike Malott came\u00a0<\/span>into the final round with a slight lead after the throw outs. Mike had missed the last couple of rounds. It was now or never to take down the title.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
Mike had\u00a0<\/span>qualified 2nd for the A main after 3 rounds. Mike knew he had to finish 6th or better to take the title going into the main. After the tone Mike had gotten a chance to settle into 2nd place. He managed to case a jump that caused his switch to shut off. Lucky for him a good marshall got him back on and onto the track a lap down. Mike but on a charge getting back onto the lad lap and with a minute to go managed to be back up to 4th position. This is where Mike would finish and wrap up his Local Joe Series 1\/8 E buggy title.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

Mike had this to say “<\/span>I couldn’t have done this without all of my sponsors helping me out and giving me the opportunity to run the best products in the industry. My OFNA\/BCE Hyper 9e was solid all year and I never had one breakage or failure in all 4 races. My Tekin\u00a0equipment and AKA\u00a0tires\u00a0were\u00a0also flawless the whole series and gave me the power and grip I needed throughout the summer to get the solid finishes I had this year. The PT RC oils were so smooth and consistent all summer in the heat and in the cool I knew I had no worries of the shocks or diffs fading under either conditions. “<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
