And it was the first race he'd won. Defending champion, Chris Guard, was trying to make it three in a row. But he didn't. He took the southern corner too fast, dust ruined his vision and he went into the windrow and stayed there. Ivan Neal was second to Wells and Cecil Woodford was third. About 5000 people watched the event'.
