AMERICAN FINAL   (5 non GP riders to qualify)
 
After 3 straight titles Braxton McChesney was finally beaten in the American Final with Ricky Antunovich recovering from a pointless second ride to win his other heats to become the new champion.  McChesney did finish on the rostrum, in 3rd after splitting Bruce Twamley and Wilbur Stanyk in a runoff.  Completing the qualifiers were Dwayne Houtby and Graeme Black on 10 points each with the only real shock being the non-qualification of Jean-Marc Struthers.  The Canadian has been in fine form of late but never got going after a first race blank and his only hope now is that the GP committee will consider him for a GP Challenge Semi Final wildcard pick.
