Street racing Volvo's

I just read a New York Times article about a bunch of guys across the country street racing old vovlo' on sunrise in school zones or something.

Anyway, there is a guy from EG mentioned in the article. Anyone know a guy named Doug K(something... Kause maybe, can't remember)? Article says he's 21 and drives a red 242

That Volvo is no joke. I saw his engine bay at one of the meets in the Pocket area. He's got a massive turbo, big enough to suck up stray animals and panties. An old Volvo... whowuddathunk?

Yeah, that's the one. I don't know if they do that anymore. Haven't been there for nearly a year. I got sick of the ***** measuring... plus it wasn't all that organized.
