1st session: Wheelspin and tyreshake for most. Erbacher runs fast but timing system fails, so no time given for him or Andersson, who also breaks a rod off the line. Turner shut down for oil leak.

2nd session: Wilson slows after promising launch, as does Andreasson. Tyresmoke away from line for Larsen.

3rd session: Wilson leaps into top spot, but recorded top speed is suspect (much too fast). Johansson still struggling with A/Fueller. Andreasson suffers another big shake.

4th session: Larsen loses blower belt on launch,

1st round: Leanders drives round Grødem and has a bye into the final. Erbacher finds the combination to put Andreasson back on the trailer. Turner holeshots Schöfer to take the win.

Semi-final: Andersson breaks, leaving Erbacher to solo through to final

Final:
