  • History: The Oldsmobile was imported from the USA by Tony Rose and in 1993 became the first european doorslammer to record a 6 second ET. After considerable success in Pro Modified it was purchased by Nick Davies, who continued to campaign it in Pro Mod after a brief foray in Super Gas. Nick recorded a 6.69 second run with the car and sold it to Graham after it was parked at the culmination of the 2000 season. After running the destroked 706ci engine in a 555ci displacement, normally aspirated form as part of the 2002 Super Mod Championship, the car was returned to it's Pro Mod roots for the Doorslammer event at the end of the year. Once again the car recorded a string of 6 second passes and won "the most hectic event we've ever entered....8 rounds plus qualifiers!!". 2003 saw the car switch to a smaller 475ci nitrous engine and set ET and speed records on the way to a runner-up points finish. The car was rebuilt in April last year after an accident at Santa Pod and again set the ET and speed records for the revised rule configuration.
