<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">&quot;The problem with writing a tribute for someone like Peter is that it's pretty certain that it won't be good enough. I'm sure this one isn't.&quot;</div></div>

Are you kidding Tom? Anyone that takes the time to write a tribute like that and post it in a national car magazine and in his words deserves credit for well done regardless of it's content. Yours happens to be an excellent tribute.

I read my copy the other day, well said.

I agree Peter was very approachable and made time to visit.

Sometimes I stop what I'm doing and recall something he said that made me bust a gut like............ One morning at a Martin,Mi race, I made a couple of passes and told him how frustrated I was by the lack of traction I was experiencing. He looks at his car and then looks me in the eyes with a straight face and says..&quot;I'm not to worried about that...my car hooks on wet grass&quot;

........and sometimes I miss his phone calls and have a good cry.

Tom Shaw's tribute was absolutely beautiful!

Thanks Tom
