Nicky Allot was tracked at no.1 replacing Doug Wyer and he failed to score. Without their top man the Tigers
rode well to keep the scores close
and it was dead level with 4 races remaining, but three maximum heat wins in the last four heats
saw the Pirates romp home as comfortable winners.
Neil Collins and Eric Broadbelt made it to the final sponsored by "Hamworthy Engineering" won by
Malcolm Simmons with maximum man Ron Preston last.
