Gary
Phillips and Grant O’Rourke, these are big burnouts in
Top Doorslammer, this will be the premier field for the
weekend, with all competitors the 19 of them trying to
fill those 8 spots, everyone will be looking for a 6.1
something to sit comfortably in the field, both Debbies
on the start line guiding their men into stage, oh and
Phillips is off and a comfortable 6.18 for him and says
look at me. Grant will be looking for a better pass
next run, but even though it was a nice pass from
O’Rourke no doubt about it.

Aaron Lynch
and Kath Stevens, now don’t forget that Lynch has run a
five second pass in this car, Kath very sedate it the
burnout procedure, more or less a getting to know you
pass, although I am not a Ford fan – I would have to say
these new Ford Slammers of the Stevens are beyond
immaculate and a big feat to debut three cars at one
event, it’s a peddle fest in both lanes, Stevens fish
tailing down the track – sparks everywhere from the
headers. Lynch makes a pretty good recovery but this
was not a pretty pass for either and will not see them
in the field at this time.

Packman in the second of the Stevens falcons up against

burnout from Packman, Brett Stevens on the start line

shuts it down early but once again its an untidy pass
for Packman right from the leave.

Deno
Brijeski and Paul Greghini, a tough burnout from
Brijeski, we are only into the fourth pass of qualifying
for Doorslammer but already we have had some seat of
your pants type entertainment, a lot of shake, rattle
and roll from Brijeski, but Greghini is on a march and
straight into number one qualifying spot at this stage.

Steve
Stanic in the Lucky Belleri Camaro, up against the

championship leader coming into this meeting, Stanic
only has to win the first round to guarantee the
championship, Ben will be throwing everything at it to
make the field of this Castrol Edge sponsored
Winternationals, it’s a tough leave on both sides, a
peddle job in both lanes, but they both recover, they
need quicker passes to secure their positions. Just
think less than two seasons ago these times would have
been considered top qualifying times. Ben Bray's
run has been disqualified as he failed to report to the
scales as directed by Andra after the completion
of his run.

from Fabietti, but he needs to step it up just a bit.

John Zappia,
a crowd favourite no matter what part of the country he
is in…Stuart Bishop in the Diamond Camaro, Zappia wants
top spot even if it is the first qualifier…Zappia is out
with a peddle fest, but its Bishop takes off and about
60 foot out he loses it and goes into a 360 spin and
then a 180 – by the 330 mark he is heading towards the
wall…you can hear everyone yelling “keep it off the
wall” and by some insane driving he does, just tapping
the accelerator…,he just manages to keep it mere
millimetres from the wall.

in the 57 Chevy Nomad and Peter Kapiris, both of these
huge potential to qualify in the field, but remember

bottom end, both cars with chutes out and they tangle

back into the field he is the current outgoing
Australian Champion, Gary Phillips will take him on,
this championship was declared the minute that Zappia
did not qualify with Steve Stanic and partner Lucky
Belleri now the Title Holders. This will be a very
tough pass, the Hogs Breath piggie on the line wearing
the Castrol fire suit, we have a staging duel, Phillips
with tyre shake, both cars moving around, but Phillips
is across the centre line, takes out the 330 beam and
this run is disqualified, Bray lives to race another
day.

and Steve Stanic, Stanic would be a very happy man after

also with tyre shake, Judd pulling away, Stanic up on

out the 330 foot box, and following Judd a good way down

Victor Bray and Maurice Fabietti,
apparently there has been much thrashing happening in
the Fabietti pits to get back for this final with many
racers and teams helping to ensure Maurice has a good
chance at taking the money, this is his first ever Final
in Top Doorslammer, in fact it has been over 10 years
since he last appeared in a final back in Competition
Eliminator in a Pontiac. Victor taking his time to go
into stage, this is awesome they are out like greased
lightning; Victor is hunting him down and takes the win
for Castrol, what an amazing race. This is five
Winternationals in a row that Team Bray has won Top
Doorslammer.
