The World Championship race was next and defending champion 27 Dale Hughes was led out by the steel band. After drawing grid position 53, Spedeworth Points Champion 209 Tom Waller was brought out and presented with his trophy for winning the points. Tombo pulled 30th on the grid, before the rest of the qualifiers were brought out to draw their numbers. 331 Boxer Jack came out to a very mixed reception which was all taken in good jest bar the small minority of the crowd that thought it was acceptable to throw beer cans at Jason, and we hope they are dealt with in the correct manner. Boxer pulled 26 on the grid, while Irish men 59 Leadfoot and 215 Leonard pulled second and fourth out the hat. Spedeworth had honoured the superb gesture of leaving pole free for the late 206 Kingy. Other tipped favourites for the title saw 570 Dino Jnr (10), 114 Lakey (18), 617 Overy (19), 516 Gouldy (23) on the front half of the grid. 247 Bro pulled 33rd on the grid, but with rival 341 Jonesy only two rows behind him (37), he had to ensure a good start.
