Pete 1

Just read Kris Elmer's post on the HAMB about Pete Samuelson's passing. I "met" him here on the Barn, where he answered my many questions, usually in the form of PMs, all of which I have archived. Pete also ground a cam for me, from what I understand, one of the last he did. For years Pete had been mentoring Kris at Salt City Speedshop on all things camshaft, hopefully some of that knowledge lives on. RIP Pete.
 
I wrote a short piece about Pete on the HAMB . . . he was a good friend and one Hell of a knowledgeable and experienced racer, cam grinder, engineer and overall damn good human being. I will miss our conversations and eMails . . .

Here are a couple pics from 2011 at Bonneville - the first year the FlatCAD crew managed to screw together a car (with Pete's engine) and somehow get through tech and get "learned" along the way:

Rest in Racer's Heaven my ole' friend . . . I miss yah already . . .
