WMMF's Drew Patrizi, with his brother and two friends from Austin, recently took part in the 2008 Drambuie Pursuit, a 100-mile race across the Scottish Highlands comprised of archery, speedboat racing, white-water rafting, dirt buggy racing, hill climbing and other feats of endurance. Drew's team ("On The Rocks") finished in an impressive 3rd place against 9 other teams, which included actors/brothers Jerry and Charlie O'Connell, and the 2007 Penthouse Pet of the Year, Heather Vandeven. The competition retraces the voyage of Bonnie Prince Charlie, who fled British capture in 1745 and left to his aides his secret recipe for the scotch-whiskey liqueur, Drambuie. Congratulations Drew!
