Oldest class racer

Ther is a division 3 racer that is 92. I don't know his name, but he drives a blue Maverick in U/SA. This might not be totally accurate but close.

Pete will turn 92 on September 4th. He has not driven for about 2 years now. Correct me if that is wrong.
Are we looking for oldest or oldest active? Just asking.

In typical Pete humor he asked me at his 90th birthday party. Do you think I could go to Pacific and make a pass "Just for the fun of it."? I told him probably not, but I like the way you think.

He didn't mention he was promoted to sarge by US Grant

It looks like Pete is scheduled to race a 56 Chevy L/S car against a 56 Ford M/S driven by Ben Hultsman @ the old Arlington Dragstrip, Arlington Municipal Airport on August 23, 2025.
