With the crowd entering the stadium and the teams poised for a grandstand finish to the National Fours round, the heavens opened and soaked the Powderhall circuit. Nevertheless, the first heat began after a short delay to allow the rain to stop, and heat two was also raced without mishap after a further break for discussions.
In heat three, Glasgow's Jackson Irving twice slithered off on the third bend, then on the final lap Martin Dixon appeared to hit a bump and ride straight into race leader Doug Wyer. At that point the referee called a halt, much to the displeasure of the crowd and the home promotion who felt that with the rain now off and the sun breaking through, the meeting should merely be delayed to allow the track to dry some before continuing.
Promoter Douglas Newlands announced to the disgruntled crowd that an unofficial 'practice' meeting would be staged featuring all the riders who wished to carry on. Fearing repercussions, riders from the visiting teams were advised by their respective managements not to compete and in the end only Gary O'Hare, who was freelance and riding for Middlesbrough on trial, and home-based riders took part.
An impromptu collection amongst spectators raised £310 to be divided amongst the ten riders while club sponsors 'Fast Foods' and the M.S.S.C. each put up £30 as a prize for the Grand Final. Please see next page for results. Sunday 14th June 1987 - Unofficial Practice Races & Individual Tournament
