<p>To sweep the Crandon World Championship weekend is a rare and impressive feat. Dominating a competitive field at the "super bowl" of short course off-road racing is unique. Very few can hold this prestigious acclaim and Alumicraft congratulates Michael Meister for his tremendous effort.</p><p>Meister's Championship Off-Road Super Buggy points title was accentuated with four wins, the last two being back-to-back, and two other 3rd place podiums. With 548 points on the season, he beat out fellow Alumicraft racer Mark Steinhardt by a 17-point differential.</p>
<p>Besides the #94 locking down the top of the box, Alumicraft racers would sweep the podium for the final rounds, 11 and 12, of the Champ Off Road / MORR season. During the World Cup race, Alumicraft went 1st and 2nd, Michael Meister and Mark Steinhardt, respectively.</p><p>Meister shares his thoughts on how the Crandon World Championship weekend went down. "Each year, Fall Crandon on Labor Day weekend gets bigger and bigger. I was rolling up to the track on Wednesday and the nerves set in. I only hoped to do well. So many things were riding on this weekend's finishes. I was in the championship points battle and hoped to wrap up my fifth championship in the Alumicraft Super Buggy. Also, we cannot ignore the World Cup bragging rights and big money on the line." stated Michael Meister.</p>
<p>"Thursday morning, I rolled through tech with no issues. On the way back, my cutting brake locked up. We scrambled to find a spare and hopefully make it out to practice later in the day. I was successful finding one from fellow Alumicraft racer Mike Kirkham. It got us up and running and out for practice. I ran practice with a Top 5 fast lap due to many slower cars in front of me on the shorter Crandon track."</p><p><strong id="">Champ Off-Road / Friday, Round 11</strong></p><p><strong id=""></strong>"Friday night, headed into the famous night races. Fortunately, I could pull a small invert of 2 where I started along the front row of the rolling start. The race started and I battled in 2nd place for most of the race. Coming down to the final laps, I could sneak on the inside of Mark Steinhardt in the gravel pit corner, almost taking the lead. When I came out of the corner, a spun-out car was sideways on the track. I barely cleared the car and went on to secure the lead. From there, I was able to take the win."</p>
