ZAP GOES ON SLAMFEST TOUR TO KICK START 2012

After competing in Top Comp at his home track in Perth on the 6-7th Jan Zappia Racing will head east for the Slamfest Series organized by Pro Modified Australia, eighth mile racing on regional tracks. All Slamfest events will receive extensive television coverage with one hour shows on Speedweek on SBS, and Inside Speed on Foxsports plus stand-alone one hour self-titled Doorslammer shows on FuelTV, Foxsports HD and for international distribution. An additional 30 minute Full Noise show will also appear on Foxsports.

1st stop Heathcote Park Raceway will host a Slamfest on 21st Jan 2012, and is Victoria's leading regional motorsport facility located just 25km south of Bendigo, off the McIvor Highway. Built in 1975 the venue has hosted some of Australia's largest Drag Racing events and features one of the oldest and longest Quarter Mile Drag Strips in the country.

The Fuchs South Coast Raceway in Portand on the southern coast of Victoria will host the next Slamfest on 3- 4th Feb 2012, and is proudly named the "best little drag strip in OZ".
"We have never raced at Heathcote or Portland, so we are looking forward to those dates. We set the track record at Mildura with a 4.02, 191mph, and we hope to improve on that and dip into the three's."

3rd stop on Zappia Racing Slamfest tour is across the Tasman to Launceston Tasmania at the Tasmanian Drag Racers Association's Dragway Tasmania track on 18th Feb 2012. Zappia Racing last raced there a couple of years ago in Zap's Rat in exhibition runs, and the new Crusher/Fuchs/Procomp Electronics Monaro will get a go on the newly updated track, including concrete start line and barrier walls.

After the three rounds of Slamfest Eighth Mile racing, the team will head back to Perth.
