With the title all but decided in favour of Rob Herridge and Mark Nelson, this round appeared to inflict carnage on a number of the favourites with Bates and Bourne emerging with no points. Locals Craig Stallard and Graeme Jesse in a Galant emerged as clear winners from champions elect Herridge and Nelson with locals Wayne Hoy and Andrew Bennett completing the podium in a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R.
