Qualifying had to bend to weather as rather than a split session, event stewards elected to run a combined one hour session.
The change did nothing to dampen the Evo domination of the weekend as the Mitsubishi cars filled the first 6 spots on the gird.
Pole went to fastest man from Friday Steve Owen, who despite the conditions posted his fastest time of the weekend a 2:26.8553. Owen however was forced back out to defend his time as Glen Seaton had the Pro-Duct Evo just behind in a time of 2:26.9200.
Filling the third spot was Jason Bargwanna who was in the other Pro-Duct Evo and couldn't quite match his team mates pace. His time of 2:27.7881 was nearly a second slower but meant he was 1.3 seconds than the fourth placed TMR Australia Evo.
The first non evo runner was the BMW of Eastern Creek International. Their time of 2:29.8089 was some 2.9 seconds off the pole pace.
Owen however reflected at the post qualifying press conference, that in a similar position last year things had gone very wrong in the race. He joked they ran in the "…Bathurst 12 minutes last year".
