A fantastic weekend for all at WSID, surprisingly we had no rain. Saturday saw a very windy cold day for all but we were still able to have our three qualifiers. With a very stout field of ten cars Jason Stares in his 615cc 63 Chev Corvette took top qualifier with 7.697 @ 177.88 However not so good for Darryl Steven's Ford Probe which had converter issues and Gary Halpin in his Datsun Coupe which tore a slick on his guard. So both cars were on there way home.
Sunday saw only six cars remaining as John Habib in his Holden Torana didn't show up. Which was good for the rest of top sportsman as it meant they were able two have not only one more qualifier today but two. Once again Frank Fenech cut a 0.000 light.

The first Top Sportsman meeting was scheduled to be held last Sunday at WSID, & having it on the same weekend as Bathurst, was going to be a big challenge. But forget about going round & round, the impact of low 8 sec cars, racing against low 7 sec cars took the chequered flag laps ahead of any touring cars. The interest shown for the first meeting, was way more than we ever expected, with the entrants totalling well into the 20's.
