Gary Kendrick and Ron Gottschalk brough the Commodore home first by more than a minute from the Commodore of Allan “Haystack” Johnson with stand-in Co-driver Geoff Byron. Ged Beckton had a great run with Ross Runnalls calling the way, finishing third in their Laxer TX3, just 9 seconds back. Title contenders Peter Fyfe and Gerry Bashford failed to make the start in their Nissan Pulsar GTi-R.
