As the 2009 Motorshow approaches the Perth Automotive Industry is a buzz with anticipation & expectation of this years’ Performance Motorshow.
The diversity of Automotive Exhibits now spans all corners of the Globe and all facets of the Automotive Industry.
The who’s who of the Automotive world will be on show with all the latest in Performance Cars and Enhancements for all Cars.
In the past, Motorshows have reflected Dealer Showrooms’ and have comprised of many displays that can be seen at anytime. Not this Year – The Organising Team have gone to extreme lengths to ensure an Exciting and Different Exhibition with a “Four Shows in One” approach.
Firstly there are the New and Exotics, then we have the Custom Showcars and Racecars followed by a huge Product and Accessories contingent and then there is the added bonus of the Australian Horsepower Championship competition that will run all weekend on the Dynamometer.
John Zappia will debut the latest creation from the Zappia Racing workshops – the new HQ Monaro Top Doorslammer.
The new state of the art race car will be driven by Craig Pedley – Managing Director of Zappia Racing Naming Rights sponsor Striker Crushing and Screening.
“The car has been given a name already” says Australian Top Doorslammer Champion John Zappia, “My car was named ‘Zap’s Rat’ years ago and it sort of stuck, and the new car has been tagged ‘Crusher’ by the crew”.
“That name may prove to be apt once the initial testing has been completed. The chassis is better than Zap’s Rat, and incorporates all our technology from scratch in a lighter, stronger package”.
“The 3,000 plus horsepower engine combination of BAE V8 Hemi and the huge Whipple supercharger is a proven winner with a best of 5.922 over the quarter mile. This combo still has a lot of potential”.
“The 5.922 was in Zap’s Rat when the car was hard to get down the track. Now with a better chassis and the 5.8 tune up we have, the car will be ahead of most other runners in the field”.
“The car looks different to Zap’s Rat, with a more original GTS paint job over the high tech carbon fiber body. Zap’s Rat is a true Tin Top all metal body, but the new car is definitely high tech. We encourage drag racing fans to come down to the Performance Motorshow and have a look”.
“The new Top Doorslammer has plenty of space for new sponsors down the side, and I will be on hand to have any talks with interested parties. We are interested in a two car deal for a new sponsor, where the exposure is potentially doubled when both cars race in the same event”.
If you want to look good and go fast, See it all and be entertained by one of the all time great Motorshows.
