TOP DOORSLAMMER AT SUMMIT INTERNATIONALS '23 - TIERP ARENA

[ewrthings-race-repair-repeat]

With £85,000 prize money on the line, ‘The Doorslammers’ is a unique event in European drag racing. Santa Pod Raceway is very pleased that VP Racing Fuels will continue to support the race this year. VP will also the Official Fuel Supplier and Title Sponsor of the premier race class, Pro Doorslammer.

‘Doorslammer’ is simply a generic term for any full-bodied car with functional doors and a sprung chassis – ‘tin tops’, to borrow a circuit racing expression – and this third annual edition of The Doorslammers will draw saloon car-style campaigners from across the continent. Prize payouts apply across seven different eliminator categories, but it’s the heavyweights contesting the VP Racing Fuels Pro Doorslammer class who corner most attention – brutal machines radically different from any ‘tin top’ ever seen on a circuit.

The no-holds-barred Pro Doorslammer shoot-out pits class-legal Pro Modifieds – which otherwise contest national and European championships – against the unregulated monsters of Sweden’s eighth-mile Top Doorslammer league, reconfigured for this weekend to run the full quarter-mile – and indeed against any other outlandish vehicle whose owner considers it fit for the challenge. In place of the usual, seeded qualifying ladder, elimination pairings are drawn at random before each knockout round until the last two contestants left standing dash for the cash. If the pairing arrangements are novel, the basic rule of drag racing remains unchanged: first to the finish line wins, and the most potent machinery doesn’t necessarily prosper.

In 2018, Mattias Wulcan re-tuned his mighty eighth-mile Blackbird Camaro to demolish European quarter-mile standards with a blistering, 5.53-second, 262mph test shot – yet didn’t win the race. Pro Mod racer Jimmy Ålund took the honours. Last year, by contrast, Wulcan slipped short of such dizzying performance heights but did manage to strike gold after five furious rounds of racing. Thus far, Swedish racers have carried off the Pro Doorslammer loot. Will 2020 prove third time lucky for a different nation’s entrant?

The Doorslammers takes place at Santa Pod Raceway from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th May 2020

Candid Conversation: HW Special Features

Special features are pretty rare on Hot Wheels nowadays; they’re now mainly reserved for anything in the Experimotors series, and that’s a shame. But a few years ago... that was a completely different story. Today, I’m going to go through as many special features there are on Hot Wheels cars as possible. I may have missed some.

Opening hoods

This was a bit of a no-brainer. The Hare Splitter acting as the header image kind of gave it away. Opening hoods have been with the Hot Wheels lineup since 1968.

Examples '67 Camaro (1982 — Present, removed in 2017) ‘69 Dodge Charger (2004 — Present, removed in 2010) Classic Cobra (1982 — Present, removed in 2020) ‘80s Corvette (1983 — 2016, removed in 1996) Countless others

Hidden headlamps

Something not a lot of people know is that there was a Hot Wheels car with hidden headlamps. I have handled one of these before, courtesy of a friend.

Examples Peeping Bomb (1970 — 1973, Redline)

Sliding doors

And now we get some ridiculous features such as side-sliding doors. Two Hot Wheels cars have had this feature, and both were activated through pulling something on the rear.

Examples Side Kick (1972, 1998 — 2012) Slide Kick (2019 — Present)

Opening rear hatches

These have also been a staple of the Hot Wheels lineup. The first car with one of these rear opening hatches came out in 1969 I believe; the Chaparral 2G.

Examples Chaparral 2G (1969 only) Porsche 917 (1971 — 2011) Ferrari 512M (2006 — 2013) Ferrari F40 (1988 — 2014, removed in 2014)

Opening doors

This feature was fairly standard from the mid-’80s until the early ‘90s; it is now very uncommon for castings to have opening doors.

Examples Nissan Custom “Z” (1990 — 1997) Nissan 300ZX (1984 — 1996) Blazer 4×4 (1984 — 1996) Split Decision (2006

Opening tonneau covers

I’m pretty sure only one casting has this feature.

Examples Dodge Ram 1500 (2007 — Present, removed in 2017)

Flip-out wheelie bars

These are often made of either hard plastic or a flexible plastic. Most of these have been removed.

Examples Nitro Doorslammer (2007 — 2011, removed in 2012) ‘49 Drag Merc (2010 — 2015) ‘41 Willys (2000 — 2014) Torpedoes Willys Coupe (2006 only)

Tip-up bodies

Found mainly on funny cars. Some may flip open in other directions, like Lakester.

Examples ‘97 Firebird Funny Car (1997 — 2014) Probe Funny Car (1990 — 2004) ‘04 Mustang Funny Car (2004 — 2011, retooled into ‘10 Mustang Funny Car) ‘71 Mustang Funny Car (2004 — Present, removed in 2019)

Detachable bodies

These are usually attached through tabs through the front and back. These castings don’t appear too often, and most castings with this feature have since had their bodies nailed down.

Examples Mini Cooper (2000 — Present, removed in 2015) Hyperliner (2002 — 2013, removed in 2014) Volkswagen New Beetle Cup (2002 — 2016, removed in 2009) Scion xB (2006 — 2016, feature still on Color Shifters car)

Suspension

What may be surprising to some is that suspension for Hot Wheels cars has been around for a long time. Since 1968, in fact.

Examples Most Redlines from 1968 — 1977 ‘70 Dodge Charger (2017 — Present) Dune-A-Saur (2018 — Present) Hyper Rocker (2019 — Present)

Adjustable suspension

This one though... only came recently.

Examples 1969 Chevy C10 (2019 — Present)

Opening trunks

Another highly uncommon feature. Opening rear doors will also be included in this section.

Examples ‘55 Chevy Panel (2006 — Present, removed in 2016) Armored Truck (1996 — Present, removed in 2013) Ambulance (1989 — 2003)

Functioning tow hooks

Another thing to increase playability for kids, too. These usually work pretty well. There are two types I can think of: the “rivet” type (hooks onto the rivet) and the “fender” type (hooks onto the bottom of the fender).

Examples Tow Jam (1998 — 2012) Repo Duty (2013 — Present) Heavy Hitcher (2019 — Present)

Pivoting/rotating parts

Especially common on fire trucks. May be found on certain construction vehicles

Examples Flame Stopper (1988 — 2010, pivoting and rotating hose) 5 Alarm (2009 — Present, pivoting ladder) Volkswagen Drag Truck (2004 — 2015, flip-up panel) CAT Wheel Loader (1980 — 2014, operating bucket, removed in 2010)

Other spinning parts

These can range from propellers to cement drums and other things.

Examples Dogfighter (1996 — 2007, propeller) Oshkosh Cement Mixer (1992 — 2002, spinning cement drum) Fathom This (1998 — 2007, turbines)

Spinning fans

As far as I know there are only three castings with this feature. This feature has generally not been very common.

Examples Whip Creamer (1971 only) Whip Creamer II (2003 — 2011) Mega Thrust (2006 — Present)

Opening canopies

There are a number with this feature, though this feature has generally been somewhat uncommon.

Examples Road Rocket (1996 — 2015, removed in 2015) Power Rocket (1995 — Present, removed in 2015) Preying Menace (2006 — 2015, removed in 2015) Sky Dome (2017 — Present)

Removable roofs

Fairly common around the ‘70s and ‘80s but slowly fell in popularity soon after.

Examples ‘31 Doozie (1977 — 2003) Mercedes-Benz 540K (1982 — 1999)

Twisting bodies

As far as I’m aware, there’s only one casting with this feature. Later toolings have this feature removed.

Examples XS-IVE (2001 — 2009, removed in 2010)

Functioning ramps

These ramps often slide around and can be pretty easy to lose since they are snapped on.

Examples Cabbin’ Fever (2000 — 2012) Back Slider (2010 — 2014) Fast-Bed Hauler (2014 — Present) The Embosser (2017 — Present)

Adjustable splitters

These only came about rather recently to combat some issues that came about around 2014 or ‘15 when it came to realistic castings being made with front splitters that curved upwards to allow them to clear loops. This was rectivied starting from 2016. The splitter could be set downwards for a more realistic look or upwards to clear loops.

Examples 2005 Ford Mustang (2016 — Present) El Viento (2017 — Present) Track Ripper (2018 — Present) Gruppo x24 (2019 — Present)

Tipping beds

Currently somewhat uncommon.

Examples Ford Stake Bed Truck (1983 — 2001) Ford Dump Truck (1983, 2010) Peterbilt Dump Truck (1983 — 2003) Dumpin’ A (1979 — 2012)

Folding wings

Now this is where things start to get ridiculous.

Examples Jet Threat 4.0 (2007 — 2016)

Functioning clip

Yes, Hot Wheels cars do have some use too.

Examples Fast Cash (2011 — Present) Clip Rod (2020 — Present)

Multi-tool

Some of these may function as multi-tools, but I have not tested out the wrench function. I will also need to find a Speed Driver so I can confirm stuff.

Examples Tooligan (2010 — Present) Speed Driver (2020 — Present)

Extending body

I’m pretty sure only one casting has this feature.

Examples Spector (2007 — 2018, removed in 2015)

Stamping

Again, it’s likely that only one casting has this feature.

Examples The Embosser (2017 — Present)

Rolamatic

These castings have something that moves as it rolls. The concept has been around for a long time but Hot Wheels only adopted it fairly recently.

Examples Crate Racer (2016 — Present, engine shakes) Shark Bite (2016 — Present, mouth moves) Gotta Go (2017 — Present, toilet cover moves) Rockin’ Santa Sled (2020 — Present, rider bobs up and down)

LEGO-compatible

More shameless product placement is good... right? (other brands of interlocking building blocks are available and should also be compatible)

Examples Fig Rig (2013 — Present) Let’s GO (2015 — Present) Bogzilla (2018 — Present) Pixel Shaker (2020 — Present)

Rolling upside down

Okay, this was probably unintentional on Hot Wheels’ part.

Examples Nitro Scorcher (2007 — 2014)

...bottle opener?

Okay, I’m done. Nothing will ever top this.

Examples Carbonator (2008 — Present)

Set up team z control arms

#SET UP TEAM Z CONTROL ARMS PLUS#

By using a four-link calculator and plotting out the geometry of the suspension as it came from the factory, you’ll find that the instant center is either behind the axle or never intersects at all. But if are serious about drag racing and straight-line performance, you’ll need to suck it up to get a lower e.t.Īs mentioned above, the Mustang stock suspension leaves some to be desired, but that doesn’t mean ample potential doesn’t exist. The downside to solid bushings is an increase in noise and vibration. If you can move your instant center and adjust the pre-load and pinion angle, you have the foundation for a well-functioning suspension. If traction and straight line acceleration are your goals, adjustability is a must. Thinking solid in terms of parts is also key, as components made from materials such as 4130 chromoly are less likely to stress or deform under the load of high RPM launches.

#SET UP TEAM Z CONTROL ARMS PLUS#

If you want to get the most out of your Pony car, you need to think solid and adjustable.Īdjustability is the name of the game in a rear suspension setup if you want to go fast in a stock suspension car.Īs Zimmerman explained solid bushings won’t deflect like a rubber or urethane bushing, plus solid bushings and hiem joints won’t absorb energy upon launch, thus transferring more power to the ground. Sure, the suspension system under your Mustang is no slouch, but it was designed for ride comfort and quality, not for ultimate performance on the racetrack. A hundred dollars more spent up front could save you a thousand or more later.Ģ. “Speed is addicting, and you’ll never hear ‘I’ve gone tens and now I want to go twelves.’ Remember that what you choose for a ten second car probably wouldn’t work on a seven second car, but what you’d use on a seven second car would definitely work on a ten second car.” As Zimmerman instructs, plan ahead and decide the ultimate goal for your vehicle and choose your parts wisely. “In all my years in this business, I’ve never seen a person want to go slower,” said Zimmerman. This tip rightfully sits at the top of our list. The racing hobby certainly isn’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination, and everyone has a budget, but selecting the proper suspension components the first time may end up saving you a few dollars down the road when you have to buy it a second or third time. And to do so we turned to one of the experts in the field.ĭave Zimmerman, the man behind Team Z Motorsports in Taylor, Michigan, is without question one of the most knowledgeable and experienced individuals in the racing suspension business – especially when it comes to our beloved Mustangs – and so when we set out to provide our Late Show-like Top 10 list, there was simply no one better for the job.įrom the home office in Taylor, Michigan, here ladies and gentleman is tonight’s Top 10 list. Many misconceptions, outdated thought processes, and pure oversights exist regarding the preparation of a stock suspension Mustang, and to rectify that, we’ve compiled a list of suspension pointers and tuning techniques to cater to everyone from the beginner to the seven-second showmen. Because much like a full-on race suspension, several elements exist in stock and stock-style suspension systems that can make or break the performance of a car, regardless of whether it’s producing 300 or 3,000 horsepower.įor those of you out there with ten second and quicker Mustangs or those with such cars on the drawing board, suffice it to say, you’d like to get the most out of your investment, and cutting corners or overlooking things in the suspension department isn’t going to get you there. As a whole movement of doorslammer racers have proven over the last handful of years, a world of potential exists in a stock suspension-equipped vehicle when not only planned out and constructed accordingly, but fine tuned with an astute attention to detail.

Top 20 QUICKEST Doorslammers!

West Coast Takes On Street Outlaws at Boddie’s No-Time Race

Northern California Grudge Racers Take on Street Outlaws

There’s no doubt about it, doorslammer racing has never been bigger. There’s just nothing quite like seeing the body styles we know and love, powered by ludicrously large and powerful engines. Jermaine Boddie (known to most simply as “Boddie”) was a California street racer who has been in the Bay Area racing scene for decades. More recently, Boddie could be seen in his insanely powerful twin-turbo Nova on Discovery series like Street Outlaws and No Prep Kings. Still, Boddie felt like there was something missing, and that void was on the West Coast.

Grudge racers don’t reveal all of their secrets, even with the hood off. Small-tire winner Steve Kuhls had a hoodscoop that covered both his carburetors and intake manifold, covering the number of nitrous systems he was running.

After how much fun he’d had going no-prep and grudge racing, Boddie decided to start his own racing organization, the 1/8-Mile Outlaw Racing Association. Quite the unique body, this association runs with the clocks completely off, but as opposed to the no-prep scene, Boddie does have his tracks sprayed with VHT for maximum traction. Another interesting twist to the series is the inclusion of Pro Modified cars. With some racers going to great lengths to “streetify” their Pro Mods (including installing steel roofs and quarter panels), Boddie decided that it would just be easier to include the fiberglass cars, with the caveat that they are limited to 10.5W slicks instead of the 35×17-inch max for the Big Tire class. There are also index classes like 5.0, and a very cool Limited Street class where cars are only allowed a fiberglass hood, decklid, and bumpers, and still must retain factory doors with roll-up windows.

Radial vs. The World cars were in attendance, but were having trouble with the slippery track. Calvin Franco’s F3 Procharger-motivated Camaro ran well Friday night, but had trouble spinning when the track became hot and greasy.

Once we heard the backstory about Boddie’s racing series, we knew we had to make an event, so we headed out to Sacramento, California to check one out. Although the clocks were off, we talked to a number of racers to get an idea of exactly how fast these cars really were. While nobody gave specifics, they all agreed that low 5s would be needed to win in Limited, Mid 4s in Small Tire, and low 4s in Big Tire. We’re not talking about slouches here, we’re talking about 3,500-hp screw-blown Hemis, twin 98mm turbos, and 872ci nitrous engines.

Aleisha Beckum isn’t just a pretty smile, she races too! She and David Allman entered two cars in the Big Tire category, one was this single-carb nitrous big-block Camaro, and the other was a twin-turbo Camaro driven by friend, Cole Dow.

Before the action got started, we took a run through the pits to see who came to play. The big names of course were the racing duo of Kye Kelley and Lizzy Musi, who were both running Camaros with 959ci Musi engines and an insane 5 kits of nitrous. “Driver Paul” and the Oaktown Hustler Outlaw 10.5 Camaro were there, as was Boddie himself in his early Nova. Roger Holder brought one of the quickest 275-radial cars in the nation and decided to run the shootout, as did Calvin Franco in his 315-series Radial-versus-the-World car. Rod Burbage was another serious contender in his screw-blown Hemi Chevelle.

There were a bunch of other rides at Boddie’s race, including index cars, grudge cars, and limited small-tire cars. All had to be steel, except for a fiberglass hood!

When the action got started, the favorites were on a roll but there were some underdogs that made some passes too. Cole Dow was overpowering the track nearly every pass driving Aleisha Beckum’s Camaro, and the Oaktown Hustler was hooking and booking. Lizzy and Kye were both flying, and making arrow-straight passes. Roger Holder was disappearing in a hurry past the 330-foot mark, despite giving up a slight starting line advantage on small tires. In fact, the track prep was so good to about 100 feet that many of the tire-limited racers were electing to run the Big Tire class, making it one big shootout.

Hands down one of the fastest cars on the premises was the “Oaktown Hustler” ’70 Camaro driven by Paul Langlie. This Outlaw 10.5 car was running Big Tire, and rumor had it that it set down the quickest qualifying lap. Sadly, the car got loose after the finish line and ending up rolling just past the 1/8th mile. Paul was unhurt, but the car was unable to return.

Sadly, eliminations began without the Oaktown Hustler, as it crashed right past the finish line on Friday night. Paul was ok, and will race another day, but the car couldn’t make it. For the rest of the field it was anyone’s race, and that was proved the first couple of rounds by red light starts, tires going up in smoke, and crowd-favorite Lizzy Musi crossing the centerline, giving the other racer the win. Boddie, who hadn’t made a pass all weekend, was unexpectedly moving through the field thanks to Lady Luck. Kye Kelley took out some heavy hitters early, and looked to be on a crash course with Holder. In what was probably the race of the night, both Kye and Roger cut excellent lights (0.008 and 0.013) as Kye edged in front of Holder, but didn’t pull away from him. “I could hear him, so I knew he was right there,” says Kye. Across the stripe it was Kye for the win, by less than half a car.

Two of the heaviest of the heavy hitters were Kye Kelley and Lizzy Musi, who are competitors on No Prep Kings on TV’s Discovery channel. Both cars sported 959ci Pat Musi engines with five kits of nitrous.

In the end, all the Northern California cars would fall either to Lizzy or Kye, except for one. Perhaps fittingly, it was Boddie versus Kye Kelley in the finals, going head to head in an after-dark final. In a heart breaker, Boddie had trouble staging, lighting the red bulb. Ever the racer, Kye didn’t leave, and the two lined up for another shot. Boddie bumped through the beams on the second try, and Kye was wheels-up, securing the win. We raise a toast to Boddie for putting on such a good show, Kye for travelling so far, and all the rest of the winners. And, if you’re anywhere near Northern California make sure to check out the 1/8 Mile Outlaw Racing association. It’s quite a show!

With the seriousness of the cars, we were surprised to see a number of racers in the small-tire, big-tire, and grudge classes sporting license plates with current tags. Remember, these are 5-, 6-, and 7-second cars in the quarter mile!

We got a quick peek into Kye’s trailer; you know you’re serious about nitrous when you have an entire group of fill bottles along with you.

There were quite a few blower engines at Boddies, with blown big block Chevys leading the charge. This powerplant in Rich Worthington’s “Bat Crazy” Pro Modified driven by Troy Baugh was running nearly 40 psi of boost on their Blower Shop 14-71 supercharger to keep competitive.

Team Boddie had a heck of a time this weekend, running into issues with a fried computer, a tweaked flywheel, and a number of other things. Here they can be seen going through the Lenco after it was removed from the car. Against all odds, at elimination time, Boddie was ready to rock and roll.

Kye Kelley was on a tear from his first qualifying pass on. The ultralight Camaro launched hard and went down the track straight nearly every single run.

The Chevelle owned by Rod Burbage and Dave Parmer was probably the most serious threat to Kye’s dominance, as his ’65 Chevelle featured a screw-blown Hemi that held no shortage of power. It was probably also the loudest car in attendance.

Arruda Racing (known for their black, chop-top ’55) brought out a new lightweight nitrous Nova to the shootout. They made some solid hits, but in the end got motored around by the more powerful power-adder cars.

Monti Fitzgerald is always a crowd favorite in his flat-black Nova, and is known for wild burnouts and huge wheelies.

The action for the shootout got started with a driver’s meeting in Boddie’s pits and a chip draw, where racers found out who they were running, and what lane they’d be racing in.

Lizzy Musi’s 959ci Camaro was flying all weekend, and was a serious contender for the shootout win, until she took herself out by crossing the centerline.

This wild Camaro with the Top Fuel-style wing was a serious competitor in the 5.0 Index class, where racers ran as close to 5.00 in the eighth-mile as possible, without running under.

One of the most powerful cars on the premises was Rod Burbage’s Chevelle, which has the blown Hemi from his old Pro Mod car. Rod got loose in the semis, ending any hope he had for the overall title.

Roger Holder figured his beautiful House of Kolor orange 275-tire Camaro had what it took to compete in the Big Tire class. Running a nitrous engine of an undisclosed size, Roger can be seen here taking the victory over Cole Dow, who upped the boost to an insane 50 psi to try and defeat Roger.

In addition to the Big Tire and Small Tire classes, a number of participants showed up simply to grudge race. There was plenty of smack talk and coin flips to pick lanes.

Mike Orban was another small-tire racer who was flying in his 582ci F3 Procharger Camaro. Mike made the unique choice to run on more forgiving 28×11-inch Mickey Thompson Bracket Pro radials, but even with a 1.16 60-foot he was no match for the racers in the 1.0-second range.

Kye Kelley made the trip all the way from Mississippi in his ’92 Camaro, and took out all of the California favorites like Doug Reed and Roger Holder, before beating Boddie in the finals to take the Big Tire win.

2018 PDRA Drag Wars Coverage: GALOT Motorsports Park Was Packed With The Fastest Doorslammers On Earth

(Photos by David Whealon) – The 2018 PDRA Drag Wars event is in the books and we have some fantastic photo coverage from the race to dazzle you with today. David Whealon was at GALOT Motorsports Park when the fastest door slammers in the world came into town to deliver their unique brand of eighth mile excitement to the fans in attendance and watching on the live streaming video coverage. GALOT has an amazing surface and the weather cooperated well with the racers to allow for some really great runs over the course of the event.

This late season PDRA event had big implications in the points standings for the series. Tommy D’Aprile won in Pro Boost, Tommy Franklin took home the honors in Pro Nitrous, longtime mountain motor pro stock racer Jeff Dobbins turned the truck in the Extreme Pro Stock class, Ronnie Smith won pro extreme motorcycle, and it was Johnny Pluchino over Dillon Voss in Pro Outlaw 632. Top Sportsman was won by Aaron Glaser and Top Dragster accolades were collected by Ohio’s Tom Martino.

The PDRA season continues in a couple of weeks with the Fall Nationals which are being held at The Legendary Darlington Dragway in Darlington, South Carolina. Check out these photos of a variety of cool stuff that competed at the race. We’ll be back tomorrow with more!
