The first six positions on the Grid for the Bay Saloon champs was set via a pole shuffle where two cars race side by side over two laps with the fastest remaining on the track to be challenged by the next competitor in the top six.

2nz Steve Cowling and 14M Brent Kaye were the highest placed in the shuffle and started off the front row of the Saloon field in the 20 lap feature. Steve led into turn 1, a position he held throughout the race to become the 2012/ 2013 Bay Saloon Car Champion.
