Note:- Heat 4 John Harrhy's bike cut out on the line and as he tried to fix it he was excluded under two minutes. He was replaced by Mitch Shirra, but the referee John Eglese prevented it and deemed it was an illegal move. Shirra parked his bike across the tapes, before Mick Blackburn demonstrated to the confused referee that it was in fact a permitted replacement move against the regulations and so Shirra was allowed to take his place when the race was finally restarted.
