Just thought I would add that Peter is probably the only British Leyland
factory sponsored driver (through BL Canada) still owning, maintaining and
driving his original factory sponsored car. The Canadian TR8 efforts were i=
n
parallel with the British Leyland US sponsorship of Group 44. Quite a
distinction.=20
Also, I understand that after getting the car fixed and ready to race on
Sunday, Peter offered the car to Christian for the Triumph race. Christian
refused, as he thought Peter should be the one driving his car in the race.
Peter won the race and gave his trophy to Christian to take as a souvenir.
A class act all the way around.

FOT:
I am not sure that anyone exhibited the spirit, passion, and generosity tha=
t
Peter brought to us from Canada.
Of course, sharing his TR8 with Germany's Christian Marx ranks right up
there.
That's another story. Peter now graciously says that Christian is now part
of the TR8 history and honored him with his name on the side of the door.
Chris repaid him with a brilliant drive at 2:35s, showing everyone what the
car could do. And first time in car and first time on track.......
Peter's tenacity in repairing his TR8 in time for the Cup was legendary. A
midnight call with a found critical part, early morning welding, and paddoc=
k
installation.....and it was ready to roll.
Then a run to the front of the pack with 2:39s on that Four Miles of Black
Magic known as Road America.
His attendance was a long time in the planning. His appearance was a major
event.
Thanks Peter.
