Mark Penny (Kyosho/Bullett/VP Pro) took TQ in the nitro class ahead of Alan Scroggie (Agama/Bullett/Beta) and Bradley Baird (JQ/nVision/VP Pro). In the 45 minute nitro main Bradley Baird got a clean start and put himself in from within the first 10 minutes. As he neared the last round of fuel stops Bradley had extended the lead to around 20 seconds but fuel gun problems made an unscheduled fuel stop necessary which allowed Mark Penny to close up. Bradley needed to have a podium finish in order to secure the overall championship so he pushed hard to hold the lead and eventually he took the win in front of Mark Penny and Barkley Abernathy (Agama/Bullett/Beta) securing him the 2013 national title.
