Remembering Doug Kerhulas and Dave Hough
It’s been a sad parade of losses in the sport here lately, but two recent ones struck deep nerves as we lost 1980s Top Fuel star Doug Kerhulas and Fuel Altered icon Dave Hough in the span of 10 days.

Fuel Altereds Are Drag Racing’s Hottest Hot Rods
The Hough family’s Nanook Fuel Altereds go back to 1965
Another sad lose for me of two good friends, the list is getting longer. many say they were the "GOOD OLD DAYS", they were. in the early days of drag racing we were just one big family, what ever a family member needed it was yours. that is why the lose of so many of the family members we are loosing these days is so hard for me.

Two racers I liked and respected
When I was the Blower Belt Guy for Gates one of our first test teams was with Doug. He was so much fun to work with. After his accident, he was not the same person. Does anyone have any information about what he did after his racing career was over?

I met Doug thru a mutual friend in the mid 2000s. We became friends and I heard a lot of crazy stories. If half are true then he was lucky to be alive.
