Patrick Day qualified on the pole, took a cautious approach to the race, but ended up taking away the biggest trophy. Breuning gave him a run for his money after the pitstops but touched with Dale and basically ended his endeavors. Les Bentz took advantage and finished in 2nd place, Severiano Espinoza rounded out the podium.

Starting from the pole, Breuning took the lead and appeared to be pulling away. On lap 9 however, a back marker missing his braking point send him straight in turn 3. Luckily he survived the ordeal without damage and recovered from 4th place.

Bill Smithem had taken over the lead, which he lost after the pitstop cycle. He did gain on Breuning and ran a strong race, only to clip one of the high curbs and end up in the wall. He limped to the pits and finished 5th. Rafael Rodrigues took 2nd and Mike Erter finished 3rd, Ian Wilson was 4th.

Patrick Day started from the pole and seemed in control as Breuning couldn’t get within 0.6 of him. Both drivers knew it would come down to the pitstop and they were right. Being just a tad too fast entering the pitlane, Day was held for a penalty and dropped down the order. Breuning got the lead handed to him and stayed there till the end, followed by Bill Smithem and Rafael Rodrigues.
