Once again, Gene Hickerson provides us with this complete race review of the recent RC Pro Florida Nitro Off-road Finals. Here, in his own words. 
The 2007 RC Pro Florida Nitro Off-road Finals were held at B&B Raceway in Hudson. The 4th and final round was worth 1.5 times the points to determine the State Champion. Everyone was allowed 1 drop. The track layout was not difficult, but had many elevation changes and was very fun with lots of air time. 106 entries were ready to battle for the RC Pro Series Championship. Saturday saw 3 rounds of 10 minute IFMAR qualifiers, best 2 of 3 seeded you for the mains. On Sunday, we ran the IFMAR Tree format, with 1st & 2nd going directly to the A-Final, while everyone else had to bump from the Semi-Finals.
