Despite the extreme heat at the 46th running of the Westernationals at Perth Motorplex on March 4-5, six new Group 2 records were broken.

Steve Aldridge and the Crown Security Top Doorslammer team have been showing potential beyond the capacity of their 20-year old ’55 Chev-bodied Murray Anderson chassis.

John Zappia claimed an unprecedented tenth ANDRA Top Doorslammer Series title with his Fuchs Holden Monaro on Sunday at Perth Motorplex’s Westernationals, adding to his record of dominance in one of Australian drag racing’s most competitive categories – and winning the Westernationals on his home turf was an added bonus.
