| Vince MacDonald would dig down deep and put his #7
Zerex Ford T-Bird on the pole with a solid 23.100 second lap good for
116.883 mph. It would be a small field for the first short track race of
the series but none the less a solid race caution free all the way. Peter Seymour would strap into the #31 Slender You Figure
Salons Oldsmobile for his first race in the series qualifying on the
outside of row two. The field would get a clean start with MacDonald
quickly jumping to a significant lead. Dave Blaxland would close in on the
rear bumper of Scott Mullin in the #28 Havoline machine as they tried to
hold onto the Zerex Thunderbird driven by MacDonald. |
 |
| Tony Urquhart and Scott Scrimgour waged a strong battle
for the bottom spot for several laps but both would become the first
casualties of the Ford team as the #12 Miller High Life Buick would go a
lap down on lap 27 and the #33 Skoal Chevy would drop off the lead lap
on circuit 29. |
 |
| The lead positions would remain unchanged as the
leaders closed in on the 20 to go warning. With just 9 laps remaining
Harry Maclean would become another victim to MacDonald and Mullin.
Although Mullin would be able to close in a bit, MacDonald's car would
be too strong coming off turn 2 and 4. |
 |
| At the line MacDonald would win the race from the pole
by 0.331 seconds leading every lap in dominating style. MacDonald would
be a model of consistency recording the most consistent times at an
average 23.393 seconds with a deviation of only 0.134 seconds. |
 |
| Finishing out the order would be Mullin, Blaxland,
Seymour, Scrimgeour, MacLean and Urquhart. It would be fitting that MacDonald would run the Polish
Victory lap just as the late Alan Kulwicki made famous. |
