Tatnell started the A-Main on pole but found himself locked in a battle with American Brad Sweet for much of the 30-lap final.

Another three-time champion, Sydneysider Kerry Madsen, finished third after clocking fastest time in qualifying. Grant Anderson worked his way from ninth to finish fourth.
