Ready to go in Gatineau, Quebec with HIGA MONSTER & Hugo Girard.

HIGA MONSTER and this weekend's contest promoter, Hugo Girard.
Hugo still looks huge weighing 320 lbs!

Hugo in front of his Dodge called, "The Widow Maker".
Almost 1,100 horsepower in that baby!  He took me & my daughter for a spin and I couldn't believe how powerful that car is.  Hugo told me that the rear axle cranks out 700 horsepower alone!
