The second round of the 2025 1up Cup Series was held at BWS Raceway in Perris, CA, a unique, high-grip covered asphalt track on the grounds of world-famous “The Dirt” nitro offroad track.

In the premiere Mod TC class presented by Team Powers, Round 1 Winner Jacob Cruz (Mugen) ran into some bad luck in both Q1 and Q2, relegating him to the B-Main. Serpent’s Bryce Butterfield took advantage to grab the TQ Spot, which he converted into the overall win after some great battles with Ryan Cavalieri (1up) and Lex Tyler (Awesomatix).

Spec TC presented by RCMAKER was the Lex Tyler ( Awesomatix) show all weekend long. He dominated all rounds of qualifying and swept the mains ahead of the Schumacher’s of Erik Steenhoven and Charlie Albrecht. 

In USGT presented by Amain Hobbies, Oliver Clipper made some sweet passes to take the overall win over Ken Gerberding (ARC) and Carlos Duarte (Tamiya)

FWD presented by Team EAM saw Gary Tsai (Xray) take a popular win at his home track, ahead of Joey Abbica (Frankencar) and Ken Gerberding (ARC).

F1 presented by MR33 was an entertaining display by Mike Rydwell (Exotek, duh), who missed most of qualifying but put on a driving clinic from the back of the pack to take the overall win. Kevin “Panda” Cole (Roche) and Round 1 winner Dave Constant (Exotex rounded out the podium.

Nick “Candyman” Pantana took the win in with his Awesomatix ride in VTA presented by Team Associated, ahead of Chris Krein (Yokomo) and Peter Carris (ARC).

The “Candyman” doubled up with a 2nd win in SuperGT (Tamiya Tub Chassis Only), with 3 different winners in 3 mains! Jonah Gallant and Jose Navarro took 2nd and 3rd.

Round 3 of the 1up Cup Series rolls off May 16-18 at CenCal Speedway in Fresno, CA
