Ahoy Mateys!
2023 marks the 47th anniversary of Douthit Motorsports, Inc. in the racing exhibition business racing Jet Cars and Wheelstanders! We have entertained fans all over the globe, including Japan, Curacao, Mexico, Canada and the U.S.
In 1976, "Smokey" Joe Douthit introduced the family's first exhibition car a Wheelstander, named Smokey Red. It was a gorgeous, Candy Apple Red, 1968 Nova (See photo in photos). In 1985, the California Smokey Jet Dragster came onto the scene. This year, we have come full circle and have added a new wheelstander to the mix, and we are excited to show it off this summer! We are a complete show with two jet funny cars and a wheelstander!
We are David and Robyn Douthit. We were born and raised in San Diego, CA. Our daughter Kathryn (2011), is learning the business while attending online classes, and has already informed us of her plans to follow in her father's and grandfather's footsteps!
Our second driver, George Whiteman III, has been driving for our team going on three years. He hails from New Hampshire, and brings a ton of knowledge and fun to our team!
We look forward running in a city near you! Make sure you stop in and say Hi!
