Brian Marsden and Pino Priolo are our first pairing out in Supercharged Outlaws qualifying session, and I was down in the Supercharged Outlaws Pits before and they said the air is getting near perfect for them…very good passes on both sides of the track with Pino crossing the finish line first and a great effort for the Western Australian on a new track.

Brian Martin and Wayne Batson are our next  couple of Outlaws, Batson having lots of trouble off the line with the ute all over the track and it’s a good run for Martin running just short of 200 mile per hour.

John Ward and Clyde Hudson, now for those of you as old as me…we would remember this ute of Hudsons as been the Ole Tony Harrington car that was infamous at all the race tracks in queensland some 15 years ago in Wildbunch, and it still looks as fabulous today as it did then, both drivers need to come to terms with the track conditions and we have a double red light with Hudson getting there first.

Darren Piddington in the Rocket Lane, and Frank Taylor in the first of our Funny Car entrants. Piddington in the Trans Am leaves first, Taylor with problems as he headed towards the wall, not sure if he just touched the wall or not but we certainly don’t think so.

35 Competitors in this bracket trying to force their way into the 32 spots.  Nathan Peirano takes on Bill Fletcher in this first qualifying session.  A big red light to Fletcher and it’s a nice pass for Peirano they seem to be fairly happy with that and are looking forward to big things for the weekend.

Paul Anderson from Mackay at his first event at Willowbank, he has run some good numbers at Palmyra and will be looking to do that here this weekend, alongside him John Fleming.  Fleming is out and away but Anderson is all trouble with a huge launch and a bang back to earth and then on and off the throttle till he aborted it.

Ben Gatt and Dack Martyn, I don’t think I have had the pleasure of seeing Dack compete here at Willowbank before but I must say the Mustang is looking slick, they are out, they sound good, but both of them are on a slip sliding pass for an aborted run.

Rob Coleman and Michael Davey, two classic Monaro’s line up side by side, and this pass will be awesome, they are out, Coleman is stepping out all over the track, but this is a real nice pass for Davey and he stomps on through the finish line.

Les Rodgie in the Funny Car takes on Casey Mortensen in the dragster, now rumour has it that Mortensen could jump to the top of the qualifying tree on this pass if he has a handle on the track,  My God that dragster is quick it just seemed to launch and take off down the track and its too fast…a strong pass from Rodgie as well.

Brian Marsden and  Paul Stephen, nice clean passes on both sides of the track but Marsden hangs out the laundry early and it’s a good pass for Marsden.

Russell Mackay and Frank Taylor, this will be a good pass, I tell you what the crowd here are being treated to some sensational passes on this Beautiful Friday, now Mackay did his burnout, but then we saw his crew pushing him back.  Taylor will go on his own. Leaves hard, stays in the middle of the track and he slots into tenth qualifying position, the chute comes off the Monza and he ends up way deep in the traps.

Rob Coleman and Paul Anderson a pair of stout doored cars on the race track, Ando down from Mackay in a very nicely presented Camaro, Rob Coleman is an old favourite here at Willowbank. And this is a clean pass by Anderson but way off his usual six second pace. Coleman runs consistently as usual.

Darren Fry and Marty Dack both lay down solid 330 ft burnouts to the pleasure of the crowd.  This is Fry’s first pass of the weekend as the team worked in to the night to get the car ready. Fry has massive shake off the line so does Gatt and the both pedal for a great side by side pass.

John Fleming and Michael Davey, Davey in a very very sedate short burnout and fronts to the line and waits for Fleming to join him, Fleming stages too deep and then pulls on the red light, a nice pass for Davey with a 2200+mph cruise down the quarter.  Little bit of oil left on the start line from Fleming.

Tim Caswell and Clive Hudson, Hudson has done a full track burnout and is returning down the quarter at an above average range of knots, Caswell waits patiently … they both go into stage, Hudson is loose on the leave and has to hang on to the big ute, Caswell is just racing his own race and it’s a good pass for him.

Due to rain we have had a short break, now we have Supercharged Outlaws on track now, and let me say the track crew have dried and prepped this track to perfection. Nathan Peirano and Paul Stephen are our first pairing, nice burnouts, both leave hard and it’s a good pass on both sides.

John Ward and Bill Fletcher, a smick pair of dragsters, it’s a very strong burnout by Fletcher, but it seems that Ward has the legs on this pass making it a fairly non-existent competition, but it is only Round Three of Qualifying.

Christine Steffans and Rodney Hansen, this will be the first major event for Hansen, Steffans is the Divisional Director of South Queensland, one would expect on paper that Steffans has the legs to put Hansen away, but it’s a fairly even run down the quarter with Hansen taking the win light first, but both improve on their times.

Michael Davey and Alex Souris, must tell you this car of Souris really does impress me and it takes a lot for me to be impressed these days, and it’s a hard leave by Davey and it sounds like it bounces on the rev limiter and not a good run for him.  It’s a great run for Souris.

Tim Caswell meets up with Wayne Batson the old Ford Versus Holden battle, my money is on the Holden and Batson carries the front wheels to about half track, Caswell hunts him down, but Batson crosses the line first, but Caswell takes the winners light in view of the cherry left on the tree.

Marty Dack and Damien Scully come into the staging lights, there is a fair bit of on and off the throttle for Scully on the way down and lots of talcum powder from the chutes at the bottom end but Marty Dack had a bit of trouble as well and the track crew are checking the track.

As the sun is sinking here at Willowbank Raceway and you can see the cold coming in we have Darren Fry in a very strong burnout in the altered, Fry has experienced a few problems this weekend, but has managed to get them sorted. Alongside him Michael Bluey Arnold. And Fry suffered severe tyre shake on the leave there is tremendous judder marks right off the line, he only runs a seven but it’s a great mile an hour.  It’s a fabulous run for both Fry and Arnold.

Casey Mortensen very sedate burnout, Bluey Arnold in the far lane into a huge burnout routine, big handicap on this one, the dragster will have to pull a wholeshot and round up Arnold, nice wheels up leave by Arnold and a good wholeshot, by Arnold but he breaks out and hands the win to Mortensen.

Brad Johnson and Greg Clayton , now this will be a bit of a wait here for Clayton, a whole second to be honest, this is something that can cause red lights if a racer is not aware, Johnson got loose early out, put the thing on two wheels, nearly put the thing into the wall and managed to drive through it.

Darren Fry could he have picked a harder competitor in the shape of Ben Gatt. Ohh no Ben goes red and hands the automatic win to Fry, Fry has severe tyre shake and backs off.  Julie Lamb was last seen doing cart wheels down the quarter mile with the Hogs Breath Pig.

Clive Hudson and Damien Scully, Scully will be looking for Mulder to help him win this, pretty even reactions on both sides of the track, but Scully runs way closer to his dial in and takes the win.

Nathan Peirano and Steve Easton, and they perform nearly full track burnouts, quite a wait there for Easton, Peirano has been on the money lately, Easton has the way better reaction, Easton must have problems cause he is way off his dial in and the Funny Car sounded flat,  Peirano keeps his championship dreams alive.

Mattie Watts the leader of the current series, is alongside Alex Harris in the gorgeous Firebird, Harris dialled in at 6.70 he will have to wait, Watts unfortunately throws it away with the red light and now Steffans is in with a real chance in the Championship.

Rodney Hansen somehow has the bye run, definitely running a little rich. He leaves the line with the wheels up and runs it out the back door.

Casey Mortensen in the dragster on a bye run in this uneven field, quite frankly if I was him I would be apt to throw everything at it above the 6.50 cut off, to see what the dragster dial in should be for later in the day.  He stages, leaves hard, but buttons it off and coast through.

Darren Fry in the immaculately presented Thunderstruck altered up against Tim Caswel, Caswell has been running right on the money this year will be a tough race for both, Fry has the far better reaction time, but he breaks out, he actually had a good margin ahead of Caswell at the finish but wasted it without backing off.

Christine Steffans and Marty Dack will round out the finals of the Castrol Winternationals and the Supercharged Outlaws bracket.   Strong burnouts from both competitors, reaction time went to Steffans and she hangs onto it for the win, not sure if Marty had a problem but it sure has been great having him here.
