The 2014 CRCRC Winter Mid-West Championships were held this past weekend at The Ohio R/C Factory in Jeffersonville, Ohio. With frigid temperatures and snow hitting hard a few days before the event, it was unclear how the turnout at this years event would be. Once again, the Mid-West showed their dedication to R/C Racing as over 450 entries were counted making it one of the biggest races in CRCRC's history!

In the Modified Truck Class it was Team Orion Factory Driver's Ryan Cavalieri and Jared Tebo who would battle it out for the overall TQ. Cavalieri went onto TQ round #1. Then Tebo would TQ rounds #2, #3, and #4 to take the overall TQ. Also making the A-Main for Team Orion was Jason Jakubczyk starting 6th, Team Orion USA Team Manager Joe Pillars starting 7th, and Andrew Parente bumping up from the B-Main!

A-Main #1: Cavalieri and Tebo battled it out for the entire 6-minutes. The race would come down to the last lap where Cavalieri would just edge out Tebo for the Win by less than a 1/2 second.

A-Main #2: Tebo would then take A-Main #2 in convincing fashion and also was the only driver to get by for the extra 16th lap.

A-Main #3: With Cavalieri and Tebo both having a Win and a 2nd. The Modified Truck Championship would come down to this 3rd and final A-Main. Tebo and Cavalieri once again broke away from the field early. Tebo was able to hold off a hard charging Cavalieri and once again would be the only driver to make the extra 16th lap to take the Win and the CRCRC Winter Mid-West Modified Truck Championship!
