The title was won by Marvyn Cox[3] but the meeting was blighted by the death of Leif Wahlman. During heat 13 his engine seized, causing him to fall and then he was hit from behind. The 19-year-old Swede suffered catastrophic brain injuries and died later at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn.[4][5]
