Garry Jacobson has pipped Brodie Kostecki to Armor All Pole Position for the Dunlop Super2 Series Bathurst 250.
Jacobson stopped the clocks with a fastest time of 2:06.0535s in the #26 MW Motorsport Nissan Altima, usurping Brodie Kostecki (#57 Kostecki Brothers Racing VF Commodore) by 0.0910s.
Together, they bumped Dean Fiore (#23 MW Motorsport Nissan Altima) onto the second row alongside Chris Pither (#44 Garry Rogers Motorsport VF Commodore), who went personal best to the second sector after the chequered flag but ultimate no faster.
Row 3 will be an all-Eggleston Motorsport affair with Will Brown (#38 VF Commodore) starting inside of series leader Paul Dumbrell (#88 VF Commodore).
Dumbrell nearly slid into the wall as he arrived under the Tree at the start of Reid Park before going as high as second position on his next lap.
Rounding out the top 10 was last year’s Bathurst 250 winner Macauley Jones (#14 Brad Jones Racing VF Commodore), Alex Rullo (#62 MW Motorsport Nissan Altima), Kurt Kostecki (#55 Kostecki Brothers Racing VF Commodore), and Mason Barbera (#99 Garry Rogers Motorsport VF Commodore).
Of the top eight, all but Brodie Kostecki were Pirtek Enduro Cup co-drivers.
The others were Bryce Fullwood, who qualified 12th in the #16 Matt Stone Racing VF Commodore, and Earl Bamber, who sat out the session as Brenton Grove brought up the rear of the field in the #10 Grove Racing VF Commodore.
The session was interrupted for 15 minutes when Jake Kostecki buried the #56 Kostecki Brothers Racing VF Commodore in the tyre belt at Griffins Bend, although only five minutes were lost after accounting for the session extension to 40 minutes.
He was seventh-fastest at the time but had to sit out the rest of the session for causing the stoppage and fell to 18th in the end.
The track was dry, although conditions were overcast throughout the session.
Super2 will be next on-track for a 15-minute Warm Up at 0930 local time/AEST, followed by the 41-lap, 250km enduro at 1455.
