Default 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.

One of the saddest days ever for me.
Pete was THE inspiration for me to get in to stock eliminator racing.
Jason Line bought the PIE WAGON from him in 1988 and he was always giving advice and confidences toward our racing efforts.
He taught me quite a lot. It was a fun to race with him and learn from him.
His passion for stock class racing was stronger than anybody I ever met!

I will NEVER forget him and his love for this sport he will be sadly missed but never forgotten.

Anyone wishing to have free a memorial decal can contact me here, or call

GOD SPEED PETER, my friend.

I missed you this week-end I'm sorry I was busy in the tower fixing the Q sheet.
I'll get you some.
Thanks

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of the fellow racers who had contact with Peter in some way, for sharing your stories. If you knew Peter, he loved the STORIES. I will miss him always, but I do find comfort in reading or hearing about past times. Thanks everyone.
