A good field turned out at
Rosedale, all keen to do well after the State Titles.
Dennis Jones won pole position in
the final with Wayne Logue drawing outside. They were a bit too keen
according to the steward and after a couple of attempts at getting them
off relegated them to the rear of the field. this left Mick Cook out in
front from Mitch Foster. Then came Michael Phillips, Rod Bowman, John
Knights , Farrer, Logue and Jones.
It wasn't long before Logue and
Jones started moving through the field but they couldn't catch Cook and
Foster .
