Wembley selected their riders to contest the qualifying rounds and these did not include previous champion Tommy Price so he requested a transfer from the Lions. Price later withdrew his request. Brian Crutcher beat Rune Sormander, Graham Warren & Dent Oliver in a decider after all had tied for the 14th qualifying place. Oliver was a non-qualifier and took the reserve slot at the final with Arthur Payne, Louis Lawson & Maury Dunn. Only Oliver, with 1 ride, was called upon on final night.
