Winton saw the return to the ATCC of Allan Grice, making his first start since the end of 1987 aboard his Roadways Commodore from the previous year's Bathurst. The big surprise in qualifying was that the Shell Sierras were off the pace. George Fury was back, his car fully repaired after the misadventure at Mallala. The Shell cars couldn't quite get a handle on the circuit, with Bowe in 6th and Johnson - unable to set a quicker time before red flags and rain intervened - down in 9th. On the front row were Brock and Bond, with Seton, Longhurst and Richards filling the first few rows. The aforementioned red flags were brought out after a big accident that badly damaged Bob Holden's Corolla on the exit of the Esses. Larry Perkins came up behind the Corolla on a qualifying lap and accidentally spun the little car into the barriers, coming to rest in the middle of the road. Also missing the race was Neville Crichton, hitting the wall hard enough in the wet conditions to put the car away for the rest of the weekend.
