Pete Orr Photos

With the Pete Orr Memorial this weekend at NSS, how about posting a few Pete Orr photos... This one is at Palm Beach, probably late 1970s after he won a race driving for Jimmy Bilton...

I remember Pete coming to Western PA to race in 98

Pete in a BGN car from about 1996, I think. Kevin Lepage ended up in this car, then the team disappeared.

The Man !

A photo of my friend Pete Orr. The wheels are spinning as Pete prepares for another race. Pete was a great person, great father, great husband and then was a great driver.

There are many special memories I have of the remaining months I spent with Pete, working with him as his son Bobby was racing my mini-stock and chasing the Mini-stock championship, which we won in 2002, because of Pete's efforts even when sick to work on the car, test and help Bobby. During those times I had some great conversations with Pete and I remember the last night I saw him at his house, he thanked me for letting his son drive for me, and for caring for him and his family. He gave me a handshake and then a hug, I promised him I would always look out for his family and I have tried to over these 11 years. It is very personal and I will remember it until I see Pete again some day !

Thanks Pete for the memories and your friendship miss you pal !!!
