Gary Ackroyd, Grant, Venegas and Mike Faria all came out winners in the first round of heat races, earning three points each. Faria, a former U.s. Champion, was trying to get back in the groove of riding short tracks after racing the European circuit for the past year.

He was replaced by res,erve lan Ferris, who, along with Jeremy O'Neal and Ted Taylor, kept crashing in the first corner. After the third crash Ferris too was ejected, and second reserve John Pierce was brought in. The race was finally finished with Faria taking the win followed by Taylor and Pierce. The remainder of round two was fairly routine with Faria, Venegas, and Grant finishing with six points to their credit. Ackroyd, however, dropped one point to Hannah. Curry was still in the hunt as well, running only one point ahead of Hannah in their face-off for second. . In the first heat of round three, Curry scored a victory over Grant.
