Another class showing a resurgence the early season, ACU Funny Bike ended up with Dave Peters taking the win over Bob Brooks; Peters coming into the eight bike eliminator as second alternate after 2014 champion Gary Jones reported broke after qualifying low.

Rene van den Berg was last man standing in ACU Top Fuel Bike and the Shark Attack team were reportedly delighted with the 6.6276 ET they recorded on a solo in the event final. We’ve a suspicion that the metallic snapping and clanging sound that the bike emitted before chucking a substantial amount of their Eurol sponsors product over the track might have muted the celebrations somewhat. The Shark Attack junior team were in fine fettle as third generation racer Louis Davies got his title defense off to the best possible start with the event win over last season’s points runner up Blade Dummer.
