Qualifying was close with only 0.2 secs (close enough for you pedants who will say it was actually 0.197) from top to bottom - these cars are very sophisticated and great to drive around HSC.
Top three were:-
Phoenix with Noel the pilot at 5.268
JRS with Mark the pilot at 5.314 and
Extreme Trax with Shane doing the honours at 5.341
a spread of .073 sec!
