A huge field assembled for the Final, with a turn 3 pile up forming after 164 Daniel Laight was heavily fenced by 455 Ricky Finney, before 350 Shane Horwood was thundered in by 01 Kyle Shires to end half parked on his bonnet. 373 Rob Wilkinson got 197 Glenn Woodward airborne in the pile up, as 662 Bob Rose fenced 207 Richard Kitchen. 128 Mark Atkins followed 373 Wilkinson into 362 Friel in the pile up, Atkins then getting well blitzed by 49 Marc Heilds. 450 Glynn Platts and 331 Jackson diced for the lead, but did not make contact with each other, Platts taking the win.

128 Atkins attacked 43 Bishop on the back straight in the Allcomers, as 450 Platts set the pace. 100 White then wasted 43 Bishop was a big hit into the pit bend, as 382 Foster took over the lead for the win.

548 Martin Lowe headed the first heat, as 630 Justin Parker and 798 Mark Sargent got tangled on the pit bend. 559 Bert Finnikin T-boned 597 Barry Clow down the home straight against the fence, before bouncing into the path of 38 David Polley, Finnikin then T-boning Polley into the pit bend. 548 Lowe faded, with 275 Mark Adkins taking over the lead, as 450 Ben Goddard went into the turn 2 marker tyres. 860 Andy Brewin ran into Goddard to wreck his bumper, as Goddard managed to get going again, except one front wheel was tucked under his nerf rail. After a lap, he shed his wheel on turn 2, this going safe to allow the race to continue. 662 Steve Wycherley and 871 Mark Simpson closed on 275 Atkins in the closing stages, but Atkins put in a determined drive to stay in the lead for the flag.

369 Ben Atkinson set the pace in heat 2, as 158 William Clement and 995 Michael Lund T-boned 728 Carl Pilkington on the back straight, the trio getting stuck together. 956 Len Perkins and 968 Micky Brennan clashed on turn 4, both spinning out with Perkins shedding two wheels. The backmarking 917 Nigel Wiles then clipped one of Perkins’ wheels to spin out, right in front of 369 Atkinson, taking him out, with Wiles loosing a wheel. The race continued, with 291 Craig Tomblin inheriting the lead. However, he rode over Wiles’ wheel, allowing 702 Allen Cooper to take over. Cooper’s lead was short-lived, as he spun with 332 Chris Eaton, 291 Tomblin retaking the lead. Tomblin was then hassled by the backmarking 496 Anthony Dakin, but shook him off to go on for the win.

The consolation had a hectic start, with pile ups at both ends of the track, as 186 George Turiccki tangled with 860 Brewin on turn 4. 515 Lee Veall lost a wheel, prompting a restart, which was led away by 606 Andrew Palmer, who had been flying round the track. 38 Polley was bundled out by 702 Cooper as they battled over fifth place, only for Cooper to then spin, as 968 Brennan barged into Polley. 925 Paul Wilson then spun, taking a head-on from the following 597 Clow, causing another stoppage to the race. 606 Palmer still led for the restart, with just a couple of laps left, and went on for victory, while 332 Eaton rode over 369 Atkinson on turn 4.

All qualifiers bar 259 Simon Farrington gridded for the Final, with 401 Barry Goldin clambering all over 622 Darren Bingley on the town bend on the opening lap. 860 Brewin then shed a wheel after being collected by 886 Chris Bradbury for a stoppage, with 275 Adkins heading the restart. However, he spun, handing the lead to 662 Wycherley, as 968 Brennan and 559 Finnikin tangled on the pit bend. 494 John Dowson Jnr overhauled Wycherley for the lead, before he was passed by 606 Palmer, leaving Dowson to fight with 702 Cooper over second. 559 Finnikin clouted 401 Goldin into turn 1, as 871 Simpson clipped 494 Dowson to spin and lose a wheel. 968 Brennan spun on the town bend, where he was clipped by 662 Wycherley, the latter wrecking his wheel, while 606 Palmer took his second win of the evening.

The National wrapped up proceedings, with a big field gridding and lots of action again. 548 Lowe spun on the first lap on the home straight, the following traffic managing to avoid him, as 995 Lund made the break for the lead, with 496 Dakin in pursuit. 450 Goddard gave 240 Richard Sagar a big T-bone on turn 3, as 871 Simpson took over the lead. In the closing stages, the yellow flags came out to check on 548 Lowe on turn 3, the race then being declared with just a couple of laps to run, with Simpson the winner.
