The evening started out with a delicious meal hosted by Ocala Motorsports. A great big pig was roasted over a hot barbecue pit. Everyone brought a dish to go with it. and there was plenty of food left over when it was all done. The awards were given out next. Ken and Carol Blackburn, the owners of the track, thanked all the riders who participated. Everyone was given a dume bag filled with goodies. The top three received piaques, with the winner of each class receiving a new Dunlop rear tire. The high-points award went to Jesse Freeman. Due to the lack of participation and the rising costs of promoting this little series, this was the last year it will be held, though the pig roast will be held at about the same time next year. The track has been open for more than 15 years, and the entire facility is going to be revamped for the upcoming season, so the Blackbums hope that everyone will come out to the first' race of 2003 to see the changes that have been made.

Jack Musick gave Banegas a good race but, after pressuring him for five laps, had to settle for second. Musick's 3-2 score placed him second overall, with Hart finishing third overall. Daniel Overton rode his Polini to repeat wins in Super Pee Wee action. Overton was able to run without pressure when Eric Yorba fell in turn one. Yorba was able to remount and work back up to second.
