Love the LC Torana. Reminds me of the Torana the boys from Chev Off Road were running before it flipped mid track and destroyed itself. I think the very first Door Slammer I ever saw was at Calder Park in Melbourne. It wasn't classed as a Door Slammer as yet because the class didn't exist. It was owned and driven by Raff Peronti. Ironically another Torana, a Hatchback sponsored by Blanchard Holden I think from memory it was running times of around 7.25 which was a decent time for a car back in the early 90's Great to see John Zappia still racing after all these years, he must be about 99 years old now, LOL. Thanks for putting this video together, great to watch 👍👍
My dream is to have a bunch of Australia and New Zealand cars get shipped over here to the USA at a big event! I know it would be so expensive for shipping coasts, but man it would be so sweet! So you Aussie and NZ racers know, us hardcore USA fans, racers love ya all!!!😉👍
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial , I am fortunate to have watched a guy from a small local track in Alaska now currently a regular on the National NHRA circuit racing alchohol funny car and top sportsman, plus he has gotten his nitro funny car license with Dale Worshams funny car. We used to have an annual race event between Alaska and Hawaii racers every year, alternating each year, the cars were transported by container ships.😉😳
i always like the steel bodied cars , that Holden type in video is ace. I saw once on YT many years ago a Holden "spud's Torana" sedan with a huge blown engine that was almost to much.
International and Interstate is a bit hard given all of the border restrictions, but the local nitro funny cars from last round will be up very shortly… watch this space 😉😁
Absolutely loving ❤your work guys bringing us awesome Aussie drag racing keep um coming, I'll always be watching, cheers KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia The Real Down Under 🤫🤣🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺😎🙂👍✌🏁🏁🏁
Cheers Shane! Yeah still Door Slammers 👌🏼 Heaps of different names for them, they call them Pro Slammers over East I believe too.. Two categories here - Top Doorslammer and Supercharged Outlaws
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial Top Doorslammers, i've been sitting here for the past five minutes wondering if some were that.. haven't watched any racing in about 20 years. Love watching that LC Torana rip it up.
Pink One? Or the grey street car? Both are on the channel a fair few times 😁 Doorslammer in the Blown Car videos and the street cars (a few different Vals in the Super Street videos 😉)
Man, I wished the USA would get some utes on the street and not have to have a GIANT DIESEL SMOKE BELCHING PICKUP that never gets to any job or on a farm. I have a 4 door pickup, I’m 77 y/o and that is my last new vehicle EVER! I’d have bought a Ute with 4 wd if it was offered. But, the giant tacomas, frontiers Colorado, etc., are big and the ford ranger has a very, too small an engine. Appreciate the Dow under hp! Ill subscribe and high five!
Thanks Henauder 😁👌🏼 For street pickups you guys definitely get some beasts over there.. the new Z71 Silverados are starting to pop up everywhere over here now, There’s a video of on from Reaper Performance Diesel on our channel too (Black One).. 💪🏼👌🏼
From up above in Atlanta Ga. why are there no spectators ? Just found you guys on YT and subscribed.. As amateur videographer kudos on camera work and sound......Beautiful cars.....
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial It is a big venue and it used to fill up on Friday qualifying and Saturday eliminations at the Top Doorslammer rounds years ago. It's friends and relations now from the looks of it.
Howdy BecausRracecar, you capture some great footage, but to make your site top No 1 it would be nice to have some commentary, who they are how there running etc. something for thought..
Cheers Robert appreciate that mate! I have thought about that, as much as I don’t like being on camera or hearing my voice it’s been a little while so I’ll see what I can do for the videos coming up 😁😉😂
Oh they do 😁 Plenty of 5 second passes from Zap on the channel… There are two classes of Blown Cars in these videos, the Supercharged Outlaws and Top Doorslammers with one class running faster than the other
True but the nitro cars in this class are limited power wise, the combinations in these things are probably capable of double what they currently make but class restrictions keep that locked down 👌🏼
I would love to just be at the start line, not in the car, but, between 2 of those beasts, before I die! I have a stage 4 brain something (lots of letters) that’s trying to rob me! I may be bed ridden this time next year.
@shanbadge697 I don't know what you believe, but I will be praying for you and also praying that you get your wish to stand between a couple of these types of extreme machines. May the Lord watch over, protect, and cover you with his blessings and grace. Good luck, mate. Bob. Australia.
What am I missing here? Slow times. Drag and drive has street cars that get into the 5s. Mullet just did a 6.47 at 223 mph. Half the tire. And half the HP?
The cars you are referring to are in unrestricted power classes.. There are two classes of cars in these Blown Car videos and they are power restricted which is why the times aren’t what you are expecting.. You’re not comparing apples to apples
Why doesn't the crew use a "leafblower" to clear the smoke from the cabin of the car instead of just swinging the door open and closed a few times ? Bob. Australia.
Possibly in the Eastern States, few promod style 275 radial doorslammers running over there.. We really only have one running here (Gonzo’s BA Falcon Doorslammer) but hasn’t been out for a while now
@@justinhiggins2210 Not these ones, but we have put up the Nitro cars from this round.. The round was called “Nitro Max” which is why you probably have noticed it in all of the video titles from this round 😁
The doorslammers are sitting more around the 2-3500hp range I’d say depending on the class… Our Nitro cars only run at around 3500-4500hp… Top Fuel is a whole different kettle of fish though… 10,000+ 😁
@@king18722 hahaha yeah we get that question a lot on our videos from the States 😁 And also a lot asking whether it’s 1/8 mile.. it’s definitely 1/4 mile here
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial hell ya I love the quarter Mile! Man those are some killer cars! I'm race on small tire , probably always will. The pro mods don't have the money for those..maybe one day I'll buy a turn key from someone will see..thanks for the badass content 😎
Why do I like cars going 300+ in 5-7 seconds, but, can’t be bothered to sit for hours watching a car go around a track? Unless, it’s dirt racing! Then, I can watch that all night! I didn’t read the Perth in the description, so, km/h it is! I almost peed a little that first run. Thinking, ‘who the f**k are these people’?
Now this is Drag Racing at its finest. Never get tired of the sight sounds and smells
We need big, loud blower cars like this in a Forza game. Would be SICK‼️
Now that would be cool!!
World class blown action that never disappoints and has us glued to the screen!
Sure does Andrew! Thanks for watching mate 😉👌🏼

no SHAME in the GAME

Curious what the rules are that nobody I've seen yet is in the 5's.
Limited on engine capacity and blower capacity as far as I know… But makes it less hard on parts also
