The Ohio R/C Factory placed host for last weekend’s CRCRC Electric Winter Midwest Championships and in the 4WD Short Course class Kyle Rhodes would take the TQ for the triple A-mains. A-main 1 started out great for the pole sitter. He quickly opened up a gap and pulled away from the field. With just about a minute left Kyle had nearly an entire lap on the field but a computer error caused the race director to stop the race and he made the call to re-run the race. For the re-run of A1 Kyle repeated what he did in the first race and took the win. A2 went very similar as A1. Rhodes managed to pull away from the field and take the win and the overall victory for the weekend. Josh McDonald and Eric DeVos would end the day in second and third respectively.
