On grey windy Easter Monday Sears lead from start to finish pursued by Haynes “very smart” Ford. Shepherd initially lead Sprinzel with Searles in the ex-Harold Grace Riley struggling to keep up with the tiddlers. Sprinzel got past the flying Doctor after 11 laps with the Riley squeezing by on the final lap.
