Re: New
Pete Walsh, Indianapolis. Sure do. I shot the very first feature on that car in 1993 at the Street Machine Nats before he turned into a serious race car. Same car? Wow.Comment

Re: New
Small world!! Yep,same car as back then, other than motor & smaller tires. It made a couple magizines this past summer so it's still looking pretty good. Petey is back into racing again in Indy,running a small tire nova.. He got out of racing not long after the magazine write -up due to his wife (at the time girlfriend) got cancer.He sold everything he had trying to pay all the med bills but held onto the nova which I picked up two yrs ago. He was out of racing (I would guess) for 8-10 yrs. He said once he wife became better his little boy got sick as well and spent the next 3 yrs trying to save his life. Talking about some rough times!! All is good now and he's back at it. I haven't had the chance to meet him in person,all our talking has been over the web. BillComment
