The first Doorslammer to crack the 5's, was it not?

I reckon you might be onto something Chris.

For those that are interested this is Johns Zaps Rat web site.
http://www.zapsrat.com.au/
There are history pictures of Zaps Rat 1 right from the early days.
Zaps Rat 2 (the ill fated Statesman Door slammer) and Zaps Rat 3 ( the Pontiac Firebird Funny Car)
Cheers Paul.
