Title contenders Breuning and Rodrigues both appeared to have technical issues that prevented them from participating in quyalifying, in which Patrick Day took the pole honors.
Breuning worked his way forward and in the 2nd half of the race, a battle for the lead emerged with Day. When Day brushed the wall coming off 2, Breuning overdid the avoiding maneuver, got on the grass and crashed. Only thanks to the fast repair did he manage to remain on the podium, Patrick Day took the win ahead of Randy Dale. Behind Breuning, Chris Brown and Ian Wilson rounded out the top 5.

Rod Potgieter brought his #77 car home in 3rd place, with Tom DeSelms and Larry Eaglen rounding out the top 5.

Karl Villeneuve started from the pole on the tisty and bumpy Belle Isle track but fell victim to trying too hard on cold tires. Breuning almost did as well and that made Bill Smithem the early leader, until Bruening passed him on lap 3 and remained up front. Rafael Rodrigues worked his way to 2nd, while Villeneuve made it back to 3rd position at the end!
