Notes

1. The Lamborghini and Camaro jumped the line before the light hit green and were disqualified.
2. The Toyota Supra failed to start due to engine problems and never entered the race.
3. The McLaren and Chevy Van finished first and second, respectively, but were disqualified afterwards for conducting two burnouts before the start of the race. The rules clearly stated only one burnout was allowed before the race. The GMC Sonoma and Buick Grand National were, therefore, granted a second race seven days later with the GMC Sonoma winning.
4. The Datsun lost control at the start of the race and crashed into the RX-2 causing them both to go off the track, resulting in neither car finishing.
