Sampsell descended the hill after 2 ½ laps with a four-second lead. Thomson reduced Sampsell's lead to two seconds at the start of lap three. Twelve seconds separated Thomson and Griggs, in third. Thomson passed Sampsell for the lead on the National Hill on lap three and then took the checkered flag 12 seconds ahead of Sampsell. Eddie Anewalt, Tkach and Hurley completed the top five.

Sampsell, Anewalt, John Nardone, Dave Royds and Scott Taylor led the start of the final moto. Thomson took the lead on the National Hill on the opening lap and never looked back. Sampsell was relegated to second. Anewalt, Griggs, Hurley and Miller followed.
