JR Mitch Wins Florida State ORS at Lake Park (video attached)
As the Florida State Off-Road Series rolled into Lake Park for round four, JR Mitch was looking to extend his winning ways. Making quick work of the qualifiers, JR quickly rose to the top of the field by top qualifying in both of the first two rounds with his JConcepts equipped Associated RC8B buggy using 3D tyres in green compound. As the sun peeked out on Sunday the track started to dry-out and the Lake Park blue groove heated up. JR went to his trusty Crossbow tyre combination for the emerging blue groove surface and 30-minute final.
Once the flag dropped, JR checked out and built a 12-second lead around ten minutes into the race and it looked like the race was all but over. But a mid-race flame-out caused things to tighten-up, but JR and pitman Walter Cruz remained calm and within minutes were back into contention. JR took the lead once again with some four minutes remaining and held it until the end. JR was joined on the podium by JConcepts/Serpent driver JP Tirronen who finished third, after recovering from a poor start.
