Alan Peters Sr.

Hi Everyone,
A friend pointed out this conversation, so I thought I would pop in and say Hello. I am Al's youngest, Colleen. I just wanted to say thank you all for saying such nice things about my dad. He was taken from us too soon. We are trying to summarize his accomplishments on the drag strip--I had to make a spreadsheet to try to keep track of all his wins! The trophies have moved around over the years, so we are trying to piece it all together...

It's so nice to know he had such an awesome network of fellow racers and friends. He will be missed.

We would be delighted to see anyone that would like to pay their respects on Saturday. I know that the reception on Saturday is not so traditional, but nor was Al Peters! We picked the place because it is on the water, in the town where he grew up... and it has a full bar! He wouldn't go the hospital without a drink, nor would he go anywhere else! We would all love to hear your stories and memories. If anyone has photos, please feel free to email them to me, we will have a slideshow of all the good times on and off the track.

Thanks everyone for all the good thoughts,
Colleen (and Rosemary, Maureen and Alan Jr)
