I have seen Peter race from his very first days in a 10 second car and he is as good or better than anyone, PERIOD. I was at E-Town when he won 2 races in one weekend in a car owned by an old friend of mine They had a $5 K race on sat. and there were so many cars the race did not finish untill sunday. He won that race and went on to win the sunday race that had a huge field of cars and an increased payout because of the number of cars. That was around 1990 and he was barely old enough to drive a car in NJ. He wins in anything and the last person you want to see in the other lane would be him. I had to race Sam in his heyday and believe me that was intimidating. You always knew when you raced him you needed your very best run or you were gone. Against Peter your best run is usually not good enough.........There have been a few strings of winning rounds that went beyond 25 and that included Nat'l events and Division races if I remember right.

But it's not an unreasonable question. Has this fellow ever driven a stick? Is he any good at it? No one is trying to be a smart alec. |

Most people underestimate Peter's ability. It isnt all just driving, but in that department he is simply remarkible. His "science" of setting up a car is second to none. He knows the probabilities of success doing things this way or that way that most racers completely ignor. Most people also ignor the contribution of Phil Monteith. Just think if you had a very smart retired seasoned and completely selfless engineer setting up the car every run exactly the way Peter wants. It is a finely tuned machine fit for the record books.
