Peter was always great to see at the drag strip! I remember the first time I met him. I was with my wife's cousin at Viking International in Gimli Manitoba. We drove up fromWinnepeg with his 4 speed Z 28 street car to race it for the heck of it.

Anyway, the track was quiet, no one was racing. I guess there was a concert the night before and everyone, and I mean everyone was so hung over, they didn't start until noon!

Peter was there and the car he had caught my eye. It was a K stick Malibu. Fast too! He was really nice about showing me around the car.
He went some rounds too that day.

It is tough seeing so many of the racers that built the class racing we enjoy pass on.

It is a reminder to have fun doing what you enjoy when you can.

God Speed Peter.

So sad to here this. Pete was a fun guy to be around. I was hopping he was doing better as he was asking about the race coming up at Top end raceway. Was really hoping to get to see him.

Rest in peace Pet you will be missed by all.

Also sorry to hear that. I never personally met Peter but being a former Manitoba resident I know people that were good friends with him and he sounded like a great guy. It did seem like he was doing better but Cancer is an ugly deal. Condolances to his family and friends.

Sad news indeed John. Peter was such a unique and special person. He always had another angle on things. You might talk about five things you wanted to try; Peter had already tried them. If you wanted to go 55 mph while standing still, Peter did that too (don't ask - John knows). Oh the stories!! Pete didn't have enough time to tell them all here, but now he does and I know everyone up there is already laughing. Good place to be, eh?

Everything is a win light now good buddy. Peace.

I had the good fortune to meet Peter a few years ago at castrol raceway in edmonton, a very unique individual, lots a stories shared. Sad to hear this news too many racers leaving us. Godspeed Peter.

Re: Peter Boslovitch passes
 

Pete and I were friends for more than 40 years and had traveled to many races together. Our last trip was to the World Finals last fall to watch our friend Jason Line race and to hang out with Jason's family. What did surprise me, but probably should not have, was that every time we turned around Pete was talking to another racer that knew him. Several times during that trip we talked about how much he wanted to race at Indy this year and I was proud as punch that Pete had asked me to tow him down and help him race his car much like Bob Gullett had done for him a while back. Pete, Johnny and I had gone to Indy with Johnny's car in 1990 when Johnny won class and this year's trip was to be a renewal of sorts. I will surely miss my friend Pete.

God speed Pete and thanks for the memories.
