Five races on three tracks over three days cut 33 divers down to the top 14 for the finals.

Nine drivers raced Monaco ending with a win for 2000 champion Scott Cornett and qualifying finishes for Paul Haynes, John Welage, and Chris Hancock. Ten more drivers were led across the Monaco finish line by Doug Schulz with Don Tatum, John Shaheen, and Lane Newbury right behind.

1999 Champion Gerald Lientz outlasted 13 other drivers at Interlagos for the win with Scott, Darin Morley, and Doug rounding out the top four.

On one track of Argentina Terry Schulz went from pole position to checkered flag, Chris, Chip Jansen, and Franklin Haskell also finished in the top four. On the other track of Argentina Jim Fleckenstein parlayed a first row start into a first place finish with Scott, Doug Galullo, and Kevin Keller finishing in the top four.

The final was raced on a "Frankenstein's Monster" "ù" track made up of corners from the three qualifying tracks.

The first half of the race saw the majority of the decisive action. On the second turn, Gerald succeeded in forced passing the leaders but spun out in the process and fell back to the pack. Terry pushed his top speed to take the lead and Doug S. picked up two slips to stay with him but then Terry broke his brakes approaching the next corner.

The middle of the race was marked by mechanical failures and crashes, especially among the contenders. Don Tatum actually pulled into second briefly on lap 1 but blew his brakes out in lap 2 and was forced to retire. At the end of the second lap, Terry stalled trying to recover from a spin in the 8th corner. Another contender fell by the side of the track when Scott crashed in the beginning of the second lap.

Early in lap 2, the GM passed Terry's crippled car to take the lead and never relinquished it - claiming his first Speed Circuit championship after seven years of serving as steward. Darin finished second and Chris third, having moved up from fifth and eighth on the grid respectively. Franklin finished fourth after Gerald's engine died accelerating out of the last corner. Kevin finished fifth after spinning in the last corner. Gerald was awarded sixth after Doug G., John S., and Paul became involved in a three-car pile-up in the last corner.
