That's just awful. I had heard he was in the hospital but I wasn't aware of his condition. We lost a real pioneer. My best to Doug and Family.

A GIANT in motorsports has passed.

It'll probably never be known how many he stimulated , advised, and supported.

Sad, truly a great loss.
The man was a true Legend and Innovator who really cared about the sport.
I have had the honer of working with Lou Novotny and the late Billy Williams to develop a very unique engine Chet created all by himself on a computer over 10 years ago. We still run that engine competitively today in a few TAD's for match racing and it is one incredible piece of engineering! Doug and family I'm sure are very proud of all of the accomplishments Chet has had over his many years. Thoughts and prayers to the Herbert family.

I help some guys on a top sportsman car with a Ford Hemi Head he
built on his CNC machine.
After a few versions it currently makes just over 1400 hp and runs
7 teens in a 2400 lbs car.
He will be missed.
RIP Chet
