Your author met Bob at the SyTy Nats last year, but it wasn't until the Hot Rod Power Tour that he first heard that familiar whistle from the Maryland-native's DMH electric cutout.

Nitto drag radials are the rubber of choice at all four drive wheels, mounted on ZR1 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear rims.
