Class favourite Jimmy Lee Weaver is out due to a shoulder injury and should return by mid-November while Jakai Brimmer and Aaron Cannonier, who are also expected to put in bids for the 80cc title, were both off the Island. They will be back in time for the next race day on November 1.

Gary Cann showed his experience in the 60cc class as he went on to win each moto fairly easily. Paulos Francis finished second overall with Anthony Grant rounding out the top three.
