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 218-426-4009 GOD SPEED PETER, my friend. Glen Alan DeMenge |

Peter and I had talked about a month ago ; he mentioned going to Indy this year and a million other things ( those that have ever had a conversation with him know what I mean ) . I will certainly miss our discussions .
God speed my friend ! |

He was very inspirational to a long haired punk kid in the '80's who wanted to race in Stock with the big boys, and one of the very few to not laugh, but to actually help and give advice, when I decided to do it with a new fangled EFI car. It just won't be the same now. |

Truely sad and heartbreaking news.
Peter's stories, advice, motivation, and inspiration were never ending. He was one of the first racers to introduce himself to me and offer advice when I started racing. I cannot count the number of times he would call me while I was at the track or on my way home from the track to offer advice. Even when I moved to Arizona, he would still call to help me with my car. Likewise, I cannot count the number of times he would call just to BS. Pete was an honest, kind hearted person, on and off the track. I'm proud to have called him my friend. With a heavy heart I say, Peter you will be missed by myself and all those that were fotunate to have known you. Glen, please send me some decals. I will be proud to put them on my car.
