2002 was a record-breaking year for the club.  A total of 16 regular season events were staged at 5 different tracks.  Gasport hosted an SOS event late in the season and all reports have indicated that this event was a big success with ESS star, Mike Woodring taking home the victory.  The SOS also had its first female feature winner when Erin Crocker captured the main event at Ohsweken on September 13th, 2003.  Another record was set in 2002 that might be hard to beat.  For the first time in club's history, one driver was able to win 6 features in a single season.  "The Joyceville Jet", Rick Wilson, was a dominant force every time out and surely would have been in contention for the title with his 6 victories, however Wilson was not able to make every show.

     The battle for the championship was fought out between two past champions and a rookie.  Warren Mahoney took the lead in points race early on however by mid season he had two challengers.  Rookie Billy "Zoomer" Krull put in some very strong performances, which included 3 feature victories, but a blown engine in round 11 would take him out of the championship hunt.  Keith Dempster got off to a slow start with engine problems but never gave up.  His 2 feature wins combined with many solid performances would see him take over the points lead after the 10th event of the season, a position he would never relinquish.  Dempster is the first repeat champion in SOS history.  Other feature winners during the 2002 season included Ryan Coniam, Curt Sherwood, Kyle Wilson and Mike Woodring.

     The rookie battle was not as close in 2002 due to the steady performance of Billy Krull.  Not only did Krull capture the rookie title but he finished a strong 3rd in points as well.  However the class of 2002 was a strong one including Glenn Styres, Phil Armishaw, Ken Bayliss, Phil Plant, Paul Ballantyne plus six other drivers making their inaugural appearances with the club.

     The Canadian Sprint Car Championship was again a real thriller.  A total of 28 sprinters were on hand which included a number of front-runners from the ESS and SOD clubs.  Mike Woodring came out on top winning the championship event for the third consecutive year.
