While many of his younger rivals have predicted Sunday's 200km marathon in the tropical top end heat to be one of the season's toughest, Ingall says mental fitness will count every bit as much as physical fitness.

Touring together in separate nationwide shows, the duo spent a rare day off at the Holden Performance Driving Centre in Norwell, the home of Supercheap Auto Racing.

With the Supercheap Auto team having found an installation issue with his new SCAR Commodore late Friday night, Ingall instantly found the speed that had mysteriously been missing in the first three events of the season - earning a spot in Saturday's Top 10 qualifying Shootout then producing the fourth quickest lap.

Ingall finished just half a car length behind race winner Garth Tander, just 0.12s separating the Supercheap Auto and Holden Racing Team Commodores at the chequered flag.

For many years the circuit held a round of the Australian Touring Car/V8 Supercar Championship, but for four years - 2000 to 2003 - it was excluded from the series.

Slade had experienced a difficult start to his professional V8 Supercar career, not finishing any race at the opening two events of the season in Adelaide or Hamilton, so SCAR team owner Paul Morris made the decision last week to guide his young charge through the Winton weekend.

After three street races - Clipsal, Hamilton and the non-championship Grand Prix in Melbourne - Winton is the event the Enforcer, Russell Ingall has been looking forward to as it is the first time this year the V8s have been on a traditional race track.

Coming into the event ninth in series points after the season opening Clipsal 500 in Adelaide last month, Ingall's Supercheap Auto Racing Commodore showed blazing speed out of the box during Friday's practice, fifth quickest around the tight and demanding 3.4km concrete lined street circuit.

Last year Ingall caused a media frenzy in New Zealand when he predicted the brand new street circuit would create a crash-fest and while his predictions came true, unbeknownst to him, they would include him too - on lap one of Race 1 - virtually ruining the 2005 V8 Champion's weekend.

Ingall failed to finish last night's first race when his #39 Supercheap Auto Racing Commodore received damage to its steering following contact with two other cars. The 2005 V8 Supercar Champion had to start tonight's race from 27th position on the grid but by the end of the first lap had already moved nine places forward to 18th position. He continued to move forward over the remaining laps and was as high as 11th but lost one position to fellow Holden driver Jason Bargwanna on the 15th and final lap.

On his fastest flying lap, Ingall was 0.64secs up on his previous best time in the #39 Supercheap Auto Racing Commodore and looking to easily vault into the top five until the red flag was flown for Dean Fiore's beached Team Kiwi Commodore ending Ingall's run. Rather than taking his place in the top 10 shootout to determine the final grid positions, Ingall will now line up for tomorrow's first 15 lap race on the eighth row of the grid.

A multiple winner in Melbourne, Ingall believes the fast flowing Grand Prix circuit better suits the setup of his car than the tough Adelaide street circuit - the Supercheap Auto Commodore struggling over Clipsal's notorious kerbs. Rookie team-mate Tim Slade arrives in Melbourne after a humbling experience at his debut race, the 23 year old having performed above expectations in practice and qualifying but then failing to finish both 78 lap races.

After a tremendous opening day, rookie team-mate Tim Slade did not enjoy the same racing success, the 23 year old again failing to finish today's race. Having come home eighth in yesterday's tough 78 lap opener, his feet badly blistered from the intense floor temperatures - higher this year thanks to the move to the more environmentally friendly ethanol E85 fuel, which increases exhaust temperatures - Ingall had to begin today's race back in 16th due to new series qualifying regulations.

Ingall's team-mate Tim Slade was also hit hard by the conditions, the 23 year old failing to finish today's race after making an error and damaging the front suspension on his Supercheap Auto Commodore. Ingall made a great start in the 250km race, moving from 16th to 12th by the end of the first lap and breaking into the top 10 by lap 12.

The distinctive paintwork adorns a VE Commodore that has been built specifically for Ingall's '09 campaign at the team's Gold Coast headquarters, and has drawn on every lesson and trick the team learned in his highly successful first season with the team last year. The team was awarded V8 Supercars' trophy for Most Improved Team, largely on the back of Ingall's performances.

Morris is inviting applications for the vacant seat alongside the Enforcer, Russell Ingall, with the in-form team he owns and runs, however, a few conditions... The successful applicant, according to the driver known as "The Dude", must possess plenty of skill and character, while jet-ski riders and latte drinkers need not apply!

The team gambled on keeping Ingall on slick tyres in the rain-effected race in the hope of the 2.4km track drying quickly from a slight rain shower, and Ingall's #39 Supercheap Auto Commodore led for 11 laps, but the anticipated winds which would have made the gamble appear to be a stroke of genius arrived just five minutes too late, Ingall sliding his way back to 13th by the end of 50 laps.
