I made a big mistake on one of the big jumps early and allowed half the field to get around me. I dropped back to 5th but I knew we still had 10 minutes to go and anything could happen. I just paced myself and starting putting in consistent laps. About halfway through I was back up to 2nd and I was catching the leader. I caught him and ran right with him for a couple of laps and watched his lines. I knew I had a faster line at the end of the straight and I went for it. He went wide once again and I was able to sneak up the inside and make the clean pass. Once I got to the lead I started picking up the pace and jumping the big triple to try and put a little space in between myself and 2nd place. It worked out pretty well as I was able to stretch out about a 15 second lead pretty quickly. Once I got out that far I just started being smooth and consistent and went on to take the win by over 20 seconds. I was super stoked to be able to run that good. The racing was intense and I was happy to be out front. My OFNA\/BCE Hyper 9e\u00a0was awesome and really reacted to all\u00a0the changes I made throughout the day.\u00a0My Tekin Electronics and AKA tires allowed me the power and grip I needed all night and day to take the TQ honors and the A main win.\u00a0The PT RC Racing Oils were awesome and gave me that smooth and consistent feel I needed throughout the day.<\/span><span>\u00a0&#8220;<\/span><\/span><br \/><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-fBoNWXuMNmg\/TeaTC6K1sfI\/AAAAAAAAALw\/FJtMKKdPt9o\/s1600\/Reo+Win+Memorial+Weekend.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-fBoNWXuMNmg\/TeaTC6K1sfI\/AAAAAAAAALw\/FJtMKKdPt9o\/s320\/Reo+Win+Memorial+Weekend.jpg\" width=\"240\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Mallot was at the Reo Raceway in Rockport, IN to run the\u00a0Memorial Weekend Shootout.
