Kevin Kane Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Note: this is a test of the new youtube BB Code tag [ youtube ] Michael; Wow! What a year! Congratualtions to Peter (and to you); something tells me he's heading for the big show. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubbard_28 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 That's great. Can't wait to see him in the pro's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 That's great. Can't wait to see him in the pro's. It doesn't really do proper justice to the kid's corner speed. He was untouchable in a tight section at the Streets of Willow. He came past me going into Turn 4, and I just laughed out loud in my helmet, fantastic.

racer Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 There are a couple of shots in the video where his superior corner speed and riding skill is pretty obvious. But, don't feel bad, Cobie. When going head to head with a fat old guy like you on a 600 truck ( ), you have to consider his diminutive stature (little guy) and the superior cornering potential of his machine. All in all, he's a very lucky kid to have so much support and experience at such an early age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More blood in the area. One doctor I went to claimed that was a factor with most any physical problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was untouchable in a tight section at the Streets of Willow. He came past me going into Turn 4, and I just laughed out loud in my helmet, fantastic. Earlier this week I heard great stories about Peter's success at the CodeRACE School earlier this month including his winning one race by going under a very fast GSX-R 750 rider in the last turn and beating him to the line...on a 125! Everyone I spoke to who was at CodeRACE said he is the Real Deal. For a bit of perspective, his dad Michael swept both races at Code Race when I attended in 2004 and I think Michael's best time was in the 1:22 range if I remember correctly.

css Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 This is Peter on the 125...way faster than his daddy ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Great video of Peter--so, did the girl go with him? Way scarier than riding no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubbard_28 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Anyone know how old he is now, and if he'll be able to start racing in something like the Redbull series or go to Europe while they still have 125's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike isbill Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 He's 11. As far as red bull racing etc.... there's no doubt he has the talent, I've chased that little guy around the track a bunch, but I'm not sure what he and his dad have on their sight picture for him.

sanfret Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 We haven't decided what to do yet. But based on the financial reality and the current state of sponsorship and the economy, unless something changes we will need to go the cup route. Cheap rides in Spain or the British 125 series cost $70k, plus personal expenses. Running both would be good, but that is beyond what we can do.
