| Final qualifying session - Round 3 |  |
| The final round of qualifying has been run, and it was Martin Stamatis out first who ran a 5.20 after the car dropped cylinders at half track just before the blower belt come off, and Phil Read looked to be on a good number out in the next pairing against Phil Lamattina, however an engine exploding 5.62 was the result after a conrod came out the side of the block.
The crews are just turning the cars around now, and for Read's crew, they have the extra work of replacing all of the things that were damaged in the big fire he had. So it's back to the track tomorrow for eliminations, and we'll see you then. For full qualifying TF results, you can check out the Willowbank site here - Willowbank TF results |
