With the Juniors now running a restrictor plate the cars are more evenly matched and it is more down to driving ability than trickery. Luke Leedell won the final after only having a best finish of fifth in the heats.

Heat one, Matthew Bedford led for the first seven laps he then lost out to Ashley Crofts. Lee Butcher also forcing him down another position on the last lap, Price fourth from Luke Leedell and James.

Heat two, had Matthew Bedford in the lead for the first six laps. Then Chris James put him down to second; Nick Price put him further down after another couple of tours. With four to go Ashley Crofts was with them, going third, then jumping the leading pair as they argued over the position, Crofts going on for the win from James followed by Price, Lee Butcher and Glen Stittle.

The Final, Stittle took the lead from Ian Ansell early on but only managed to hold on until two from home when L Leedell went passed James third from Crofts and Butcher.
