Driving his Losi it was McCauley who got the upper hand in qualifying to take the TQ honours while Baird’s Xray would line up fourth.

In the finals it was Abernethy that took the win with his OS powered Xray over pole sitter Harron who posted the fastest lap of the 45-minute encounter. Completing the podium and claiming his best result of the season was Hobao driver Andrew White. Gary Baird took his Kyosho to fourth to secure 3rd in the championship as his main rival McCloskey was forced to change his reciever battery during the race.
