Fastest Individual Qualifying/shootout Lap At Murray Bridge
In 2005, a timed Friday night practice session was introduced. This session is used to determine the grid positions for the start of the race the following day.
In 2005, a Top 12 Shootout (three fastest teams from each category) was also introduced, giving the top teams from each category an opportunity to set a lap time on an clear track on Saturday morning before the start of the race to determine the top 12 positions on the grid. In 2008, the shootout was expanded to a Top 15 shootout to include the fastest all female team from categories 1, 2 and 3.
The shootout has quickly become a crowd favourite since its introduction; large crowds gather around the track to cheer on the fastest teams as they are given the opportunity to push their trikes and bodies to the limit on a clear track.
