0-1300 cc
An identical “action replay” of the August Monday thrash - Shepherd leading until blowing up at exactly the same place and same lap! The yellow Speedwell cars were left a trifle breathless

over 1300 cc
Sears romped away as Baillie, starting from the back row, scythed his way to 2nd by end of the 1st lap. Blydenstein lead the Rileys throughout with Hutcheson putting down his marker. Leston had a mathematical chance of equalling Uren’s score but abandoned.
