The ministox drivers were in top form and stole the show but Gary Paterson gave everyone a fright when he rolled his car entering the back straight.

The yellow flags had just appeared and he had been dicing with Taylor Borthwick, contact was made and as a result Gary barrel rolled his car. After a bit of time he clambered out of his car shaken but unhurt.

Claire Ryan was sent crashing into the wall with her prostock basics car and later Scott Rankin’s car was wrecked when he was hit in the back by Tiffany Barron on the main straight.

Raymond Dick’s time in the saloons proved to be brief when he was sent clattering into the pit bend wall and had to retire.

Missing from the two litre National saloons was Ian McLaughlin whose wife had given birth to twins.

Fife drivers in action included Ross Watters from Leven.

Dick’s saloon meeting was short lived and he was sent crashing into the pit bend wall and out of the meeting. David Hughes won heat one from Ross Graham with Watters in third and just ahead of Irvine. There was a shunt at the start to heat two which hindered Watters, Irvine and Graeme Anderson although they all restarted at the tail of the field. Again Hughes got the better of Graham to go through to win from Graham and James Letford with Watters in seventh and Irvine eighth.

Watters went on to win the final from Irvine and Letford.
