The second round of the Puerto Rican electric touring series took place at the PitLane RC track. The traction was high all day and the layout very fast with many hairpin turns which meant speed and acceleration would play an integral part in the car’s setup. Juan C Rodriguez was able to TQ the first of two qualifiers in the Boosted 10.5T class ahead of Xray team mate Jose Colon. In the first A main Juan had to retire early due to a broken sensor cable but the following finals saw him pull away from Jose handing Juan the win with Jose Colon in second and Jose Cruz in third place.

The Superstock class once again saw a number of top UK National drivers competing, along with three drivers making the journey from Ireland to race.
