Meet the Team
The Pigfish team have been together since 2000. It is a stable committed team with the same core members now as at day one. Whilst we race hard we also enjoy race day with good food throughout the day and a drink together to celebrate or commiserate after a race meeting.
Doug Bird (the "Pigfish")
Driver: Doug is the man in the hot seat, his nickname is well deserved having a great affinity for food and wine. Doug just can't help himself. Doug is also a team owner and puts his all into the car and on race day. He is a focused driver whose whole aim in life is to keep going faster. The first V8 this man ever owned or raced was an alcohol altered, what does that say? Doug is also one of the directors of Zenith Insurance Services and during the day when he, Mal and Teen are not on the net looking for more toys to buy he brokes insurance to corporate Australia.
