If you have been an active RC racer in the state of Michigan chances are you have heard the name Jason Jakubczyk, or as his friends call him "Boatman". If you know the name, then you know if he is at the track to race the same event you're at, you have your work cut out for you if you want any chance of beating him.

This is a series that Jason has dominated the last couple years he has run in it. Jason did not disapoint at the MORL race #5 at BFG on September 12, 2009. This was the first year that Jason was not able to participate in every event in the MORL series, so he came to Battle Front with something to prove. That being, if he had run the series, he was more than able to win and retain his titles.

Jason ran in the Mod Buggy and Mod Truck classes over the weekend. He not only TQ'ed in both classes, he went on to win both A-Mains.

Jason was not alone, here are a few of the local and team drivers who also had a great deal of success over the weekend (Click on "Read More" to see videos and get race results):
