Both Pete and Monte are alive and well, and still drive hard and fast. I
usually see Pete at races like the Wine Country, occasionally at NW races. I
was chasing Pete's Lotus at Sears when Peyote's steering came apart. Usually
race with Monte at the Rose Cup in Portland.
Both great guys.

Remember seeing a retired Porsche powered racer in the back shop area. Never
knew what it was until today. Definitely the Pooper. I have to assume Denny
Akers is of Akers Auto Acres also from the Seattle area. Used to sell him
cars too - from the salvage pool.
