Brew's team mate in the doorslammer ranks, Daniel Callaghan missed out on the bump spot in his gorgeous CAL 400 Racing Murray Anderson Camaro, a 6.452 missed the eight car bump by a tenth, but the team will definitely improve on this given Brew's vast knowledge of running blown alcohol engines to the max.

Having not such a G'Day, Grant O'Rourke missed the bump, but would also have appreciated missing the wall after severe tireshake is thought to have knocked him cold and unable to save the car from swinging hard left across the track and impacting the barrier at 100 feet. Despite a severly rung bell, O'Rourke was back at the track the following day and has set himself the target of racing the team's back-up car by December.

Doorslammer is essentially a mix of fifties US body styles with a smattering of late model Aussie GM products. Maurice 'Fabulous" Fabietti has managed to secure factory backing for his 2004/5 campaign, and must have impressed the sponsors with a stout 6.267/229.66 to make the field and a semi-final finish to Brett Stevens.

Another of the Stude's is Robin Judd's Moonshine Bandit entry, and another, along with O'Rourke, to make the long trek over from Western Australia ( for those of you not 100% up your geography of Oz - look up the Nullaboor on google and think "strewth that's a bit of a drive"). Judd made the effort worthwhile squeaking in on the bump with a 6.321/223.58.
