Deno Brijeski made the first full pass in the new Procomp Electronics-backed Top Doorslammer. After months of build work, preparation, and testing, the car went down the track under full power for the first time. That first pass is the moment where engineering meets reality.

A New Car from the Ground Up

The new Procomp Top Doorslammer was built as a complete package. The car was not a modification of an existing chassis or a refresh of a previous build. It was a new vehicle designed to compete in one of the most demanding categories in Australian drag racing. Top Doorslammer cars run full-bodied shells at elapsed times and speeds that require precision across every system.

Deno Brijeski

Brijeski is an experienced competitor in the Australian Top Doorslammer ranks. Putting a new car through its first full pass requires a driver who can feel what the car is doing and communicate that back to the team. The data from the electronics tells part of the story. The driver's feedback fills in the rest. Brijeski's experience made him the right fit for bringing a new car to life.

Procomp Electronics in a New Platform

The new car carried Procomp Electronics engine management and data systems from its first pass. Running proprietary electronics in a new chassis from day one means the data is clean from the start. There is no transition period from one system to another, and every pass the car makes adds to a consistent data set that the team can use to develop the tune-up.

The first full pass is a milestone in any race car build. For Deno Brijeski and the Procomp Electronics team, it marked the beginning of the next chapter in their Top Doorslammer program.
