- Teen Sensation Brodie Zappia Stuns Westernationals Doorslammer Field
Picture this: You’re nineteen years old, and you’ve just been given the chance to drive an iconic Top Doorslammer under the watchful eye of your legendary uncle. You’d be forgiven for wanting to stay low-key—expecting a steep learning curve and a slow climb toward success. Fast-forward a few short months, and you’re exiting the car at the end of the Perth Motorplex return road. Reality hits: “Did that really just happen?” Brodie Zappia wins Westernationals On Sunday, March 2, 2025, in front of the biggest hometown crowd of the year, Brodie Zappia won the 54th Westernationals in Top Doorslammer. Not only did Brodie become the youngest professional-category winner in National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC) history, he’s also the second-youngest Doorslammer winner of all time—behind only Ben Bray’s age-17 record. “Honestly, I’m still pinching myself,” Brodie said. “I went through the finish line, pulled the chutes, and coasted into the braking area, hardly believing what I’d just done. By the time I saw my crew jumping up and down on the big screen, it finally sunk in: I’d won.” On Saturday, John Zappia set an imposing benchmark in qualifying, rattling off a 5.67 at 254 mph in the Dananni Hotshots/Fuchs Monaro—good enough to secure the top spot and win the Crow Cams Top Qualifier prize. Brodie, meanwhile, had tested a new Crow Camshaft on the Thursday test day and was establishing his baseline in the MAX Plant Monaro. This showed during Qualifying on Saturday, clocking consistent 5.847 and 5.851 passes. “Once we reset our baseline, I felt comfortable with the setup”, said Brodie. Brodie Zappia and the Zappia Racing MAX Plant Monaro Crew When eliminations began, Brodie kept the pressure on. He dispatched Frank Taylor in Round 1 with a 5.871 at 241.15 mph, while John laid down a strong 5.733 at 250.82 mph on a solo pass despite the warmer conditions. In Round 2, Brodie again faced Frank Taylor, turning in a 5.859 at 240.71 mph to secure another win. John’s second run ended in frustration: “I rolled forward, looked up at the Christmas tree and realised I had double-bulbed. I got ready for the run and left with Lisa Gregorini. As I got to the finish line and saw the Camaro poke its nose in front and realised I got beaten. When we got back and looked at the data we realised that the lock-up clutch didn’t activate due to a limit switch malfunction,” he explained. “We still ran a 5.763 at 246.50 mph, but it wasn’t enough to chase down Lisa Gregorini.” Heading into the finals, Brodie went to wish Maurice Brennan good luck—only to learn Brennan had snapped an axle and withdrawn from the event. “He said, ‘Congrats on winning the Westernationals,’ which caught me off-guard,” Brodie recalled. Then, a points calculation mix-up revealed Steve Aldridge would actually face Brodie in the A Final, while John would once again meet Lisa Gregorini in the C Final. John rebounded with a 5.721 to win the C Final in the Dananni HotShots/Fuchs Monaro. But all eyes were on Brodie, who lined up against Aldridge with everything on the line. Despite Aldridge’s quicker Plymouth, Brodie welded his opponent to the Christmas Tree and ran 5.899 at 239.58 mph to claim a thrilling holeshot victory. “I looked over at half-track expecting to see at least the nose cone of Steve’s car, but there was no purple anywhere in sight,” Brodie said. “I pulled the chutes, shut it off, and as I rolled through the shutdown area, I saw my crew jumping up and down on the big screen. That’s when it hit me—I’d won!” A Dream Realised for Brodie Zappia A Dream Realised for Brodie Zappia The rookie sensation was candid about his rapid rise. “I came into this year thinking it would just be about learning the car—no traveling, no full championship,” Brodie said. “Then I made the A Finals at the Blown Alcohol round, another A-Final at the Golden States, and then Summit Racing Equipment came on board. Everything just fell into place.” Emotions ran high in the Zappia pit after the final round. “Mum and Dad were close to tears when I got back,” Brodie said. “I’ve wanted to be like Uncle John since I was three—and now it’s happening. They know what I’ve sacrificed and how hard I’ve worked to get here, and it means the world to share this moment with them.” For John, now celebrating 45 years in racing, the weekend had both highs and lows. “Almost perfect for Brodie—great for him and our sponsors, but not so great for me with (Russell) Taylor pulling away in points,” he said. “We’ll freshen up this Dananni Hotshots/Fuchs Monaro and get ready for the Direct Mining WA Doorslammer round later this month, then aim to swing for the fences at The Bend in Adelaide for the next NDRC round. Everybody runs fast there.” Brodie and John both extended their gratitude to their supporters. “We had MAX Plant and Fuchs Lubricants trackside with some of their clients this weekend, which was awesome,” Brodie said. “And a special thanks to Danni from Dananni Hotshots who is always at these events and supplying lots of free pink merchandise for the fans, Summit Racing Equipment, Striker Crushing and Screening, High Speed Engineering, Tony’s Auto Wreckers and all our partners—their support makes this all possible.” The MAX Plant Monaro Crew 54th Westernationals Top Doorslammer Results Round 1 Brodie Zappia – WIN – 5.871 / 241.15 mph over Frank Taylor John Zappia – WIN – 5.733 / 250.82 mph (Bye Run) Round 2 Brodie Zappia – WIN – 5.859 / 240.71 mph over Frank Taylor John Zappia – LOSS – 5.763 / 246.50 mph to Lisa Gregorini Round 3 (Finals) Brodie Zappia – A-FINAL WIN – 5.899 / 239.58 mph over Steve Aldridge John Zappia – C-FINAL WIN – 5.721 over Lisa Gregorini Stay tuned by heading to www.zappiaracing.com and subscribing to our Newsletter.

- John Zappia Secures Victory in Nitro Max
John Zappia had an eventful and successful weekend at the Nitro Max Blown Alcohol Allstars bracket race at Perth Motorplex on January 18th. His performance in the Dananni Hotshots / FUCHS Monaro was a mix of overcoming technical challenges and showcasing impressive driving. In the first qualifying pass, John took a conservative approach, recording a 5.72-second run, focusing on a smooth, trouble-free pass. John Zappia pilots the Dananni Hotshots/FUCHS Monaro During the second qualifying attempt, John pushed the car harder, resulting in a strong launch before the car unexpectedly shut down. Investigation in the pits revealed broken studs on the supercharger, which were swiftly replaced and had the car ready for round one. Despite the setback, John qualified first with a 5.72 and earned himself a solo first round where he recorded a 5.680 at 251 mph, a strong performance that encouraged the team to increase engine power for subsequent runs. In the A Final against Costello in the Altered, John faced a slight handicap advantage but stayed focused and maintained his lane after Costello briefly crossed into his lane. As John approached the finish line, a blower belt came off, but he still managed a 5.69-second run to secure the victory. John acknowledged Costello's corrective driving after heading into his lane and credited the strong Dananni Hotshots/FUCHS Monaro performance to "...recent upgrades, including new Callies twist forged crankshaft, CP-Carrillo pistons and rods and High Speed Engineering sleeves fitted by Applied Automotive Engineering ". Looking ahead to the Westernationals , John is hoping for further improving his performance. "A new engine with upgraded components is being prepared, and the team aims to push the car harder to find its limits", said Zappia. John also highlighted the contributions of the talented crew for both Top Doorslammers, emphasising their dedication, problem-solving skills and team spirit. Following the Westernationals, Zappia will "...compete in the final round of the Summer Slam and then prepare for the Tailem Bend event, where both my nephew Brodie Zappia and I will race our Top Doorslammer Monaros". John expressed excitement for the upcoming events, including the launch of new merchandise and the anticipation of pushing his Dananni Hotshots/FUCHS Monaro into new PB’s. The team is meticulously preparing both cars for the upcoming races, ensuring all components are in top condition and spare engines are readily available. This past weekend at Perth Motorplex was a bit of a rollercoaster, but more of a learning curve for the Brodie Zappia Team. "We started by testing a new fuel system in the MAX Plant Monaro, and it showed some real promise. However, I encountered a few hiccups with the supercharger lifting off the car during the 2-step launch", said Brodie. The MAX Plant Monaro piloted by Brodie Zappia Back in the pits, they discovered a misfire. The crew went about replacing several parts of the ignition system but kept the tune-up the same as the previous pass. On the next run "...the car practically left the ground – we definitely found some missing horsepower! Now, the challenge is to tame this beast and find a new baseline for consistent performance", he said. Despite these issues Brodie was still able to win the B Final (when Franky Taylor shutdown at the start) and gain more valuable point towards the Blown Alcohol Allstars Championship giving him a narrow 5 point lead over Costello. "Looking ahead to the Westernationals, I'm hungry for more improvement. We're still learning the nuances of this combination, and I'm working closely with Aaron Deery from ADR Engines , one of my sponsors, to bring this motor closer to the level of Uncle John's". Expect some serious behind-the-scenes upgrades as Brodie's crew aim for even more power and a shot at new PB’s. Both teams are preparing for the upcoming Westernationals, with a focus on maximizing performance and reliability in the coming races.

- Race Recap & Preview: John and Brodie Zappia Discuss Drag Racing Insights from the Last Meeting
Brodie Zappia's latest NDRC Series outing was a rollercoaster of emotions. In the first qualifier, his MAX Plant Top Doorslammer roared down the track, a 5.84-second blast that matched his personal best. But the victory was bittersweet as he popped the blower and broke all the blower studs. "Despite not causing major damage it left the team scratching their heads as there was no visible reason for this to happen”, said Brodie. Brodie Zappia Driving The MAX Plant Monaro The second drag racing qualifier resulted in a melted piston and required an engine teardown between rounds to replace a piston, rod and gudgeon pin. Back on the track, Zappia faced a solo run after his opponent, Frank Taylor, couldn't make the race. He clocked a respectable 5.91 seconds with a safe tune to make sure there was no further damage to the engine. The second round saw him matched up against Maurice Brennan. Both cars launched well, but Brennan's Commodore proved quicker crossing the finish line with a 5.837 seconds ahead of Brodie's 5.875 to win by 0.047 seconds. The close race, however, was overshadowed by a nerve-wracking moment – a single parachute deployed and Brodie was required to skilfully wrestle the car under control before the sand trap. John Zappia Driving The Dananni Hotshots/FUCHS Monaro Snapping the blower belt on the hit in the B Final against Daniel Gregorini ended up being a lucky escape. “Back at the pits we found a blocked oil hole with a piece of piston obstructing a crank journal, causing a loss of oil pressure”, said Brodie. Had the belt remained intact, catastrophic engine failure would have occurred. This week, Brodie and his team are rebuilding the engine with fresh components. “The goal is to recapture the momentum from the previous round and continue pushing the car's limits”. A six-week break provides a valuable opportunity to refine the car's setup and address the lingering steering issue. While the car still tends to pull right, it's significantly improved, allowing Brodie to confidently apply more power. John Zappia In The Pits At Perth Motorplex With The Dananni Hotshots/FUCHS Monaro This Saturday, the excitement returns as Brodie and John both compete in the USA Nitro Max event at Perth Motorplex , in the Blown Alcohol Allstars class. "Last race meet at the Motorplex, I qualified with a 5.80, but the car spluttered a bit at the start, said John, “…running on seven cylinders for a couple of seconds before recovering to eight. That cost us a shot at qualifying into the 5.70s in the Dananni Hotshots/FUCHS Monaro”. In the first round, John ran a 5.73, so things were looking good. He bumped up the tune for the second round and got a great .059 light against Lisa Gregorini. Unfortunately, the gearbox broke, sending the car into neutral and over-revving the engine. He coasted down the track for an 11-second pass, losing valuable points and knocking him out of the A Final. “That put me in the C Final against Lisa. Sadly, I red-lit by just -0 .003 seconds and ran a great 5.70” straight down the middle of the track. This week, “…we're completely rebuilding the engine and performing all the necessary maintenance. We're also experimenting with some new ideas to further improve the car's performance”, said John. “Our primary focus this weekend is reliability. The car is already incredibly fast, capable of running in the 5.70s and the 5.60s, but we need to ensure it can consistently make it down the track without any mechanical failures. We're hoping we have found a reliable combination for this race weekend and we'll be able to gather some valuable data before the Westernationals". “…We are looking forward to seeing many of our sponsors and supporters coming down to the pits to say hello to both teams”, said John.
