In the track's final season of operation, the 358 metres (392 yards) Rowley Park Speedway in Adelaide hosted the Australasian Final. Reigning Australian Champion Billy Sanders won the Final from Steve Koppe and John Titman. The final three qualifiers for the Commonwealth Final to be held at London's White City Stadium were Phil Crump, Ivan Mauger and Larry Ross. Later in 1979 Mauger would go on to win his record 6th World Championship at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów, Poland.
Inaugural Australasian Final winner and local Rowley Park hero John Boulger failed on the night, scoring only 6 points from his 5 rides to finish in 11th place.
