Top Doorslammer is a class of Australian drag racing. It caters to full-bodied racing sedans which are replicas of Australian or US production vehicles. The class uses 540 cu. in. displacement (8.8 litre), supercharged V8 engines which are fueled by methanol. It is similar to the Pro Modified class as defined by the NHRA. Top Doorslammer is regulated by ANDRA, and is considered a Group 1 or professional category. It is the fastest sedan based category in the world, using replicas of production sedans, coupes, station wagon and utility vehicles usually produced by Holden, Ford, Dodge, Studebaker and Chevrolet. Funny Car style bodies or rear engine sports car bodies are not allowed in this class. Some notable drivers competing in this category are Victor Bray, Robin Judd, Ben Bray, Gary Phillips, John Zappia and Maurice Fabietti. Top Doorslammer originally started out as an exhibition class called ''Wild Bunch'' with notable pioneers John Zappia and Victor Bray. After a number of successful years of running the class, ANDRA recognised the class worthy of a professional bracket. By 1996 Top Doorslammer was officially recognised as a Group 1 class, and has since grown into one of the most successful brackets. ==Television broadcasting== Top Doorslamer Championship is on SBS Speedweek and the new SPEED Channel on Foxtel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Top Doorslammer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
