Alan Jones came from the back of the grid to win the Peter Jackson Dash and take the front row slot for the first race.

John Bowe maintained second position as Peter Brock fell through the pack to fifth.

Some drivers opted to pull into the pits for wet tyres before the start of the race, whilst others gambled on the rain dissipating and track drying up.

Though, whilst plagued by the spin, Skaife began to charge up the field and soon found himself bearing down on race leader, Glenn Seton.

Though the damp track conditions caught out drivers such as Larry Perkins and Alan Jones, it was plain sailing for Glenn Seton as he took his second win of the season with Peter Brock in second and Mark Skaife in third.
