An action-packed race on a very wet track with a great battle in the early laps between 177 Gilchrist and 7 Salmon amongst others. The two Meadows brothers had a coming together which caused the first stoppage with 186 Jones and 482 Cooper now in contention. Another stoppage followed shortly after with Gilchrist being shoved back the irder. Jones took up the running and extended his lead to cross the line in first place!

A race of attrition saw the newly-crowned European Champion 186 Todd Jones take a win as darkness falls on the Fife circuit.
