This was a race of attrition, with the pole-sitting Crosby/Wilkinson Commodore blowing an engine, the Francevic Sierra retiring with turbo troubles, the Hulme BMW suffering a blown gearbox and the Andersson Volvo suffering an "internal disorder".
The Skyline was in only its fourth race start, and set the pace throughout to win by four laps. The Nissan NZ team had started to find the some reliability and pace from the car dispite a trouble debut at Bathurst a few weeks earlier.
It sounds like this was not the most exciting of races, with Crowe also having a largely untroubled run to finish second. Crowe did have to stop to replace a badly worn tyre five minutes from the finish, but second was safe.
The Andersons had their second good run in the space of a month at Baypark to finish third in the Pinepac Mustang.
The ex-Johnson Mustang of Ker and Huxford suffered brake problems and joined the retirement list however.
Class winners were Ed Lamont (1601-2500cc class) and Dave Barrow (0-1600cc).
