Jack Jensen proved to be the fastest eater and took the win. In the stock trophy dash Gordon Wright took the win with car 444 Maike Hall tipping tip-ping on its side. El well took the lead and the win in the Modified Dash and Howard Sorensen won the Super Stock dasxh. First heat of the stock class was a real test for Gary Kam-pman Kam-pman who was out with his new car for the first time. He really found the groove and led from start to finish.

Second heat of the stock class was Steve Turner all the way with the Pink Panther having his troub les going straight. In the modified heat it was proven that speed isn't everything. Craig Chynoweth kept his cool and made a win. The Super Stock heat was really a heated battle with Grant Leonard spinning and meeting Dave Nelson head on, Sorensen took an easy win. The Stock Main was a wild event with spins and b umps and Kampman leading until the last lap when he went over the end and landed upsidce down. Norm Rhodes took the win. The Modified Main took placed after a frantic change of tires for three of the cars which had flats during the heat race. Jack Elwell took the win.
