Tom Cockerill took the win in 4WD buggy and Ben Jemison took 2WD. Neil Cragg TQ'd both classes but wasn't able to convert this into the win. Adam Skeling meanwhile took the win in Short Course.

The three-day race was hampered by rain during Friday practice and the forecast for Sunday and the conclusion to the meeting was enough for the team to decide to forego the final round of qualifying on Sunday and instead run the first leg of finals on Saturday evening before the various fun activities kicked off. This turned out to be a very wise decision since the rain came down at 9am Sunday and just didn't stop - calling an early end to things. Despite this, the event was a fantastic success and Saturdays racing had more than made up for the weather.
