What do you mean a "door car"? What is the alternative?

A "door car" (also called a "doorslammer") is a race car with doors that open and close, as opposed to a "funny car" where the body tilts up to allow the driver in and out (and to perform maintenance) and a "dragster", which is a chassis with little or no body, usually on a very long wheelbase. There are many variations, but those are the three main categories of drag race cars.
