The racing season starts for us in April at VIR. We will miss seeing Pete driving around the paddock, stopping to say hi and talking about the cars. Although we knew him a short time we always looked forward to seeing and spending time with him.

We met Pete in 2010 at the Alfa Event at Watkins Glen where he was honored for his many accomplishments during his racing career. He was a regular at VIR and was always interested in our cars and how they were going over the weekend. He was kind, funny and knew almost everything about Alfas and racing. He will be missed by many. Our sincere condolences to all his family.

Before the Car Guys made the joke about "where there is smoke, there is a Saab", Pete knew those cars inside and out. He ran a Mac based system before the rest of us knew what Macs could do. Pete was honest, trust worthy and his love of cars showed in the excellent work that his team did. Thanks Pete, you will be missed!
