Pole sitter Bill Smithem led the first part of the race, when Breuning caught him there was a pretty good battle between the two and they swapped positions several times. With about 7 laps to go, Smithem ran wide and brushed the wall, causing his suspension to be out of wack. He finished, but had to watch Breuning grab top spot. Phil Peterson and Ian Wilson completed the event in 3rd and 4th.

David Brown put his mean green machine on the pole and led the first part of the race. About mid race, the closely batteling leaders saw a slight touch between Brown and Breuning, sending the latter into the wall. A quick repair saved him from going a lap down and with more cautions, the bunching up of the field help him catch back up. Leader Smithem did everything he could to keep defending champ Cooke behind him, but a brush with the turn 2 wall allowed Cooke t grab the lead, while Breuning passed Brown for 2nd. Breuning was side by side with Cook as the white flag fell, but fell 0.041 short. Brown was 3rd only 0.097 behind the leader, so surely a very closely contested finish!
