John Zappia and Zappia Racing Promotions would like to welcome Parry Bitsikas and Billy from Muscle Car Warehouse as a Major Sponsor for the 2018/2019 Australian Drag Racing season.
Parry and Billy are both keen motor car enthusiasts having bought and sold many muscle and collectible cars over the years.
Their company, Muscle Car Warehouse has been set up for the motoring enthusiast who is interested in purchasing their Muscle Car dream, either as a personal or Superannuation investment.
Muscle Car Warehouse can also sell their collectible cars to interested investors or request a specific car for them to source. They can also assist with pricing guidelines and advice on the Muscle Car market.
Zappia Racing hope to have a successful 2018/2019 season and take Muscle Car Warehouse on our drag racing journey. A big thank you to Parry and Billy for putting their faith and sponsorship in Zappia Racing.
John Zappia and his race transporter are on their way to Darwin with the Fuchs Lubricants/Dananni Hotshots Monaro ready for the start of the 2018/2019 racing season.
John is excited about the upcoming season and to begin his clash with new series champion Paul Mouhayet and several other race teams who have recently stepped up and thrown out the challenge to the rest of the field.
Having set the Hidden Valley track record at 5.69 at last year’s Nitro up North, John is hoping to improve on his performance – having been knocked out in the quarter final with a mechanical issue.
John has given the Fuchs Lubricants/Dananni Hotshots Monaro a thorough check over and hopefully the car will perform as we know it can.
The all-run format will see all cars testing on the Friday night then the point scoring rounds run on Saturday 14th July 2018.
John and the Zappia Racing team always look forward to Nitro up North due to the incredible atmosphere at the track as well as catching up with our northern friends and supporters.
Zappia Racing are hoping to see as many Sponsors, friends and supporters at the Hidden Valley track visit us and check out the merchandise in front of our pit area.
