ABOUT US

Welcome to Slaughter Motorsport, where our dedication to speed and our respect for the heritage of motorsport drive everything we do. For over two generations, we have humbly pursued success across various disciplines, from Land Speed Racing to Drag Racing, leaving our mark on the track with each endeavor.

โ€‹

The spark of passion for racing ignited within father Trevor during his service in the RAAF, where he immersed himself in the world of top-tier drag racing in Australia's heyday. This passion has been passed down through the Slaughter Family, laying the foundation for a lifelong commitment to motorsport for Ben. From a young age, Ben honed his mechanical and driving skills on the family's racing machines, inspired by his father's legacy.

โ€‹

Located in the vibrant city of Brisbane, Australia, our team breathes life into the asphalt as we explore the boundaries of speed and performance.

 

Central to our fleet is the formidable Pro Turbo Toyota Supra, meticulously engineered for one purpose: domination of the drag strip with unmatched power and precision.

โ€‹

Driven by a legacy of achievements and fueled by an unwavering desire for victory, Slaughter Motorsport embodies the ethos of relentless pursuit. Ben's childhood dream of crafting the Supra was fueled by admiration for John Zappia's legendary Doorslammer HQ Monaro.

 

Blending his affection for Japanese sports cars with the might of the Toyota Supra and Zap's Rat, Ben & the team brought to life the menacing drag weapon our team proudly boasts today.

โ€‹

We invite you to join us as we continue to push boundaries, break records, and etch our name into the history of motorsport with humility, perseverance, and professionalism.

โ€‹

We look forward to seeing you all at the track, please come and say hi, you are always welcome.

See You Trackside

Ben.
