This season, the Top Doorslammer Championship returns with five exciting rounds as part of the Perth Motorplex WA Drag Racing Championship. Thanks to renewed support from Kelvin Lyle and Direct Mining & Industrial, this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever.
“I’m so excited to be involved in this championship. The WA Doorslammer scene is incredible, and having Direct Mining & Industrial as the class sponsor for Top Doorslammers in Perth is a no-brainer for me. I can’t wait to see everyone race this season!”
– Kelvin Lyle, 2022/23 Australian Top Doorslammer Champion & Director of Direct Mining & Industrial
The championship will span five rounds, with three of those also counting toward the NDRC Australian Top Doorslammer Championship. This means Perth will host the nation’s top teams during the following events:
- November 22-23, 2024: Burson Auto Parts 50th Annual Goldenstates
- January 4, 2025: Nitro SLAM
- March 1-2, 2025: Electrical Group Training 54th Annual Westernationals
This is a first for WA in 25 years, as Perth Motorplex typically hosts only two rounds of the Australian Championship. Now, with three rounds on home soil, fans are in for an unforgettable season!
