Gilgandra's Scott Riley took out the night's top honour, with Gunnedah's Michael Broom and Simon Hood close behind.
Wide Open Promotions' Darren Gesell said Tamworth's final event of the season was a major success.
"It was a great night. We got to standing room only, that's how big the crowd was," Gesell said.
"Everyone was treated to a night of really high-quality racing, especially in the Formula 500s, where we saw a pretty spectacular car roll-over.
"Overall it was a really good night and a great finish to the season."

The event also saw several Tamworth drivers get in on the success, with Hayden Whitbread claiming victory in the street stockers star dash competition.
"We can't thank all of our supporters enough," Gesell said.
"All of our volunteers are what made the night such a success and we couldn't have done it without them.
"Pretty much every race was of a really high quality and it was good to see drivers from around our region and beyond get involved."
Gesell said Tamworth would now turn its attention to its next meeting in October.
"It was our last event of the season, so it was really good to see such an amazing turn-out," he said.
"The quality of the track and the help of our volunteers were a big reason for that, and we can't wait to come back later this year."
