IT'S TIME TO UNLEASH THE BEAST! STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS Updated 18/4/2002: Check out the Event Report, the latest Zoo Pics and the RATZILLA is a twin engine, supercharged, nostalgia Fiat Toppolino hot rod that is something completely out of the bag. This thing is like NOTHING else being built in this day and age!
Former racer Graham ' ZOOMAN' Slapp created this car to salute the early barnstorming, tyre smoking days of drag racing - a time when anything was possible. A time when the pioneers of this great sport believed that whatever rules there were for concept and design must absolutely be broken. This led to awesome multiple engine contraptions, draped with feather-light bodies, and resulting in clouds of unavoidable tyre smoke! "When it negotiates the track (and I DO mean negotiate - the car may or may not concede at times!), it does so in a spiritually pure nostalgia form" says the Zooman, and points out that, "unlike other so-called 'burnout' cars, RATZILLA has NO FRONT BRAKES!" |
