Round 2 was held at Miami R/C Raceway which hosted the 2002 ROAR Nitro Off-road Nationals. Tropical Storm Barry tried to prevent the race by raining 4-7 inches on Friday, but with the great work of the track crew and the racers, the track was in super shape for racing by Saturday evening.

In the Machine’s R/C Hobbies 1/8th Expert Buggy class, it was Maxy Velazco taking TQ, but again Sean Kersten took the win, taking a commanding lead in the points. In the Carolina’s R/C 1/8 Arena Truck Class, it was all Sean Kersten. Kersten took the TQ and the win.
