The Thunder Feature race had Steven Peach lead the most laps but a blow-out with two laps to go saw Rod Noseworthy who had been fighting for the lead take over and go on to win the Thunder Feature. The race was delayed for a short time as the 71 car of Sean Porter rolled over in turn one. When Racing resumed Shane Leonard of St. John's who had started the race in last place methodily worked his way through traffic to take second place. Peter Hiscock took third. Peach got fourth and Steve Budden of Pouch Cove rounded out the top five.
The Lightning Feature had the 127 Car of Paddy Murphy setting the pace and controlling the first half of the race. Jason Neville then took control but a determined Jason Groves was all over the back bumper of Neville until a blown tire forced Neville to the pits.
