Gary Phillips reigning Australian Top Doorslammer
Champion out for his first qualifying session alongside
him the awesome power of Aaron Lynch, Lynch in for a big
burnout, Gary a little more sedate in his procedure,
Lynch’s car has snuffed it in the burnout and the crew
are pushing it back, Phillips Stude sounding really
strong. Oww and it’s a hard leave for Gary on and off
the throttle towards the centre line and a big march at
the top end. The Exon Valdeze would have been proud of
the oil slick left by Aaron Lynch.

Hmm Fabietti out of shape in the water, crosses the
centre line twice, hmmm will this run count? Steve
Stanic in the lane beside him…very strong in the
burnout, he is waiting patiently for Fabietti to return.
Nice leave and straight pass by Stanic, not a great pass
for Fabietti he was sluggish and not happy on that pass-
and it headed left pretty early got it back in and
crossed the centre line at the finish line . And that
run does not count for a couple of reasons.

Another little hold up and now we are back to qualifying
with Kym Petterwood - making a very welcome competition
return here in Top Doorslammer, the Bat Mobile burns on
down alongside him, its being a big break for Petterwood,
he was a very popular racer back in the day. Into
stage, both cars building in the revs, Petterwood is out
early on the tree and a little shaking around on the run
but a good pass, Kapiris is on a good strong pass and a
great first qualifier for him.

Stuart Bishop and the WA hero Robin Judd, Bishop ran the
highest speed in Australia by a doorslammer at the
recent WSID meeting, he maybe a real threat here this
weekend. Judd already with 60 points under his belt,
what can they come up with now. Judd into full stage,
both are out and its ugly in both lanes, Bishop in
trouble soon as he left the start line, and he had the
shakes and shutters right through the entire quarter,
Judd peddles to straighten up and make it through
unscathed and he crosses the finish line first.

And it’s a very very sedate burnout by Kath Stevens, Ben
Bray gets stuck into it a bit more. Kath missed the
start of the season in Sydney as Brett had taken the car
and Ben has not had a good start to the season, Bray is
out like a bullet and its going and going for a
fantastic top qualifying pass at this stage, Stevens
into trouble right off the line – could have problems
with the clutch, and backs it out and just takes a
leisurely pass down the quarter.

in Sydney, can Victor crack the five second barrier here
this weekend, the big heavy beast is sure looking for
it, its on a good pass but Victor shuts it off early for
a slowing 6.60 pass. Packman right off the line once

track and pleasing the crowd with his awesome burnout
procedure, its not as quick off the start line as we
expected but it is a good pass and pops into second

car has been repaired since his mishap at Darwin, he’s
got it soft on the start line, and a nice pass –
straight pass, a little sedate but good enough for third
spot.

field, Stevens already in the field with this brand new
doorslammer after the wall smacking incident in Darwin,
Packy needs to step it up to get into this very
competitive field. Packy is out and on a good one, the
Boss is very untidy off the start line very violent off
the line, and it was a burse panel out for Packman but
he still comes into number five, leaving Bishop on the
bump spot for now…but just wait until tonight.

qualifying position. Bray is out hard and his door

the crowd is loving this…Fab is loose and looking at the
wall, he peddles it but straightens up, Kapiris is
burning it up, its lean and he has cooked it. Kind of
looked like burnt pistons and the track walkers are
taking a stroll down Kapiris’s lane but no oil.
Fabietti will not make the field for this the 42nd
Nationals.

Kath Stevens very sedate in the burnout again, it’s a
nice one for Lynch, can he snatch the top qualifiers
position, Stevens studders off the start line –
straightens it up and slows it down. Lynch had a
massive peddle on and off the throttle three times and
still runs a good number but leaves him in fifth
position.

Stuart Bishop another competitor looking for top
position and the mile an hour record here this evening,
Kym Petterwood looking for a personal best to make it
into the field, this will be awesome, they are out and
Bishop is sideways with the right hand wheel off the
ground, but Petterwood is on fire, he has banged the
blower as the fire builds, parts fly off everywhere, and
he ends up in front of Bishop with another explosion as
he veers off the track.

Bray versus Bray, young Ben is in…Number one position no
less, Victor sitting in 13th position,
wanting to qualify, Victor will throw everything at this
pass without a doubt, and Victor is out first, but Ben
is shooting on past, it’s a good pass on both sides of
the bitumen, Victor comes into seventh spot. And Ben
shows the world that this is one consistent six second
Monaro nudging the door of a five this weekend.

This is going to be ohhh so dramatic for two reasons,
Brett Stevens is trying to get his way back into the
field, in the other lane John Zappia he wants the top
position, he wants a five, he wants it all. Hang on to
your seats, this looks good for Zappia, Stevens has the
short time but does not break into the field after he
goes into tyre spin and the car seems to lose power,
this is a real upset for the BSR team. Zappia does not
take that top spot, a crushing blow for the Western
Australian team. And it is official we have the Quickest
Top Doorslammer field in Australian history.

Only Packman can make a difference to this event, by
qualifying right now and pushing Phillips out, and
keeping at least one of the BSR team in the event.
Stevens made a very quick trip back down the front to
line Packman up straight and he overpowers the race
track blazing the tyres and the field is set for an
absolute nail biting first round.

Aaron Lynch and Steve Stanic burn
out across the start line in the quickest Top
Doorslammer field in Australian Drag Racing history,
this bracket has been fought like Gladiators in the
Coliseum, small wholeshot from Stanic. Lynch has to
drive it all the way as he was using up the lane but
can’t pull Stanic back in. Stanic will progress to the
next round.

Victor Bray and John Zappia and
this match up is worth the admission price alone, these
two competitors have been battling it out against each
other for more than 20 years, from the old Wildbunch
days till now, the start line is going to play the
important part in this race, Zappia is out, only five
hundredths of a second separate these two at the finish
line, despite Zappia had severe tyre shake right off the
line until he could pull it around.

Stuart Bishop goes through his
burnout procedure as Kapiris crew frantically continue
trying to start up the Batmobile, Kapiris has already
set the record for the weekend, Bishop could snatch that
away right here and now. He granny drives it off the
start line, but still runs a 6.38 – a real shame that we
did not see that side by side pass.

Ben Bray our top qualifier, going
up against our eighth qualifier and defending Australian
Champion Gary Phillips, Gary has been concentrating on
his beautiful new Lucas Top Alcohol Funny Car this
weekend, there is a burndown on the lights, Bray goes
into instant tyre shake – enough to open the door, and
has to button off, Phillips has an untidy leave but
still manages to put Bray back into the pits.

welcome points from this event thus far.

John Zappia and Stuart Bishop, we would
like to see Stuart Bishop take the win here to keep one
Queenslander in the final, here at Willowbank Queenslanders
usually dominate this field, but it has not been that way
this weekend.
Revs are up both sides of the track,
Zappia has the wholeshot, Bishop has problems, Zappia is on
a mission from God and takes the win demandingly. Bishop
not that much slower but the wholeshot of Zaps won the race.

Steven Stanic this is the place he
needs to be to be able to put in some form of chase for
the points in the Australian Championship as he did not
qualify in the first round, alongside him a favourite of
the crowd here at Willowbank – John Zappia. Zap is
looking for low e.t. points which Ben Bray still has a
choke hold on, Stanic is going to try and pull something
out of the bag, they are both out, Stanic is keeping
right up there with him and Zappia has a massive
supercharger explosion right there on the line, but
Stanic had already won the race with some great driving.
