After rain threatened play at the Kwinana Motorplex here in Perth late in the day, all cleared up to showcase a hard hitting Top Doorslammer qualifying session tonight. With a bump spot of 6.323, certainly the field has stepped up a notch over last years performances.
John Zappia managed to salvage a hard faught 6.245/222.770 in a car that was having difficulty running straight all night. "The car was all over the track on that run, but there was no way I was backing off!" said Zap after the run - still physically shaken by the run. "I wanted a full pass on the car, and we are now in the field, with a lot of work to do before eliminations tomorrow to get the car to run straight."
