13-second defending champion Imran Khan bowed out early, due to a false start leaving Lawrence Bhowandin and his Toyota Glanza the top spot.
Aditia Budram in his Toyota Levin was the star of the 12-second class while Rajesh Panday and the Team Avengers Mark II took the 11-second bracket.
Oneil Higgins and his Toyota Caldina provided a blast from the past for the 10-second class while Shawn Persaud and his Caldina won the unlimited trophy and in the process posted a fastest time of 8.311.
