Brock battled time whilst replacing a shattered windscreen before the session started after the bonnet on his Mitsubishi detached and smashed the screen in the earlier practice session. For most of the session he could not quite get to the pacesetter Garry Holt in his Eastern Creek Karts BMW 335i Turbo, but ultimately extracted a 1 minute 18.8266 second time to edge the championship leader by 0.13 seconds.

Apart from the opening round of the championship which was the Bathurst 12 Hour, the series has consisted of a scratch race and two short, class-orientated handicap races. This time its two one enduros with compulsory pitstops for wheel changes, two for Class SP and one for Class A. Class B has to do a compulsory pit drive through while Class C don’t have to do any.

Holt’s team mate Barry Morcom will start third in his Rondo BMW while the Mazda RX7 shared by James Parrish and Ric Shaw completes the second row. The Holden Commodores of Leigh Merten (Class SP G & D Performance HSV) and Steve Briffa (Class A Paul Wakeling Holden SS) share the third row ahead of the Chris Delfsma/Mike Fitzgerald Century 21 Ford Falcon XR8.

The smaller engine capacity cars round out the small but competitive field. The Mid West Multimedia Mini Cooper S of Trevor Keene and David Giugni heads of the Jim Hunter Suspension Subaru Impreza RS of Jim Hunter/Warren Bossie and the all girl Paul Wakeling Holden Vecta of Danielle Argiro and Amber Anderson.
