David Reynolds shapes as the most likely threat to a Jamie Whincup whitewash of the Bathurst 1000 after the Erebus Motorsport man put his Commodore on top of the timing charts in the final practice at Mount Panorama.
Whincup won provisional pole yesterday by scorching the field and is in the box seat for Saturday's top 10 shootout.
Reynolds, next fastest in qualifying, went quickest in the final practice session on Saturday morning with a 2:04.4072 lap.
Last year's champion said he had dreamed of lowering the bar further and promised to bring more speed to the shootout.
