Cameron Waters remains the man to beat in the Dunlop Series as he secured pole position for the first of two races on the streets of Townsville.
The Prodrive Racing Australia driver pipped Jack Le Brocq by 0.09s to score his eighth career pole position at the Reid Park circuit.
Waters joined the session late but he wasted little time in getting up to speed as he knocked Le Brocq off the top of the times with a 1:14.6769s effort.
Eggleston Motorsport’s Garry Jacobson was third fastest just 0.2s adrift of the Dunlop Series championship leader.
Team-mate and reigning Dunlop Series champion Paul Dumbrell was fourth just ahead of Chris Pither’s Ford Falcon which had set the initial pace in the session.
A late charge saw South Australian Todd Hazelwood completed the third row in sixth behind the wheel of the iSeek Falcon.

The opening Dunlop Series race of the weekend is scheduled to start at 14:20.
