With no improvements later in the session, Harris’ 1:27.640 sealed him the top spot, with his effort four seconds faster than last year’s pole position time, a 1:31.046s set by Alexander.

Crick remained second, followed by Alexander, Ben Walsh (Toyota Hilux) and Price, while Steven Richards was sixth (Holden Colorado).
