Doug will be sorely missed. He was a good friend of Hutch & Patti's and 100's of other Corvette enthusiasts Henry's Z06 on the dyno... she pulled an impressive 357 RWHP that day (equivalent to at least 420HP at the crank!)) Brad's GS at the drags Henry's Z06 at the drags Henry letting out some air at the drag strip
Henry & Brad on the strip Henry & Brad on the strip Smoke 'em if ya got em! If you're going to race, sometimes things break... ... like this ZR-1 halfshaft.
This sticker on the Pirate Racing ZR-1 pretty much sums it all up. Attend next year's Gathering and you'll see what we mean!
