A well balanced field resulted in 12 of the 30 riders gaining points and in Dave Micklethwaite, placed in all his races, taking the lead in the track league with a 1 point lead over the absent kevin taylor. In event 3 mr. J. Rutherford was relegated to second place by the commissaire after he inadvertently strayed from his line on the last bend. In the points race 6 riders succeeded in lapping the field and first place was taken by Paul Manning with a very respectable 27 points. The last race, 10 mile scratch, resulted in a win for Guy Cook in the cracking time of 21 minutes.
