The only real incident of the day was when Paul Linnett took his T Bucket altered out for a morning qualifier in the Middle Eliminator category. He left the line as per normal, however his car started to wheelstand straight off the line. As he passed the tree the car kept climbing and broke the wheelie bars before getting all four wheels off the ground as the front end climbed skywards. When the car returned to earth the front end hit the ground with a thud and splayed the front wheels, quickly rolling to a stop and putting him out for the rest of the day.
