ANOTHER GREAT- PETE BERLT PASSED AWAY - jeff brown - 11-27-2017

        Sneaky Pete Berlt was a colorful man with a distinctive laugh.  He was a great driver he raced for and with Mick Rupp always in C open thru the 60's and into the 70's.  He was a national champ several times.  He attended several VKA events with his best friend Butch Stewart.    Pete had been ill for the last couple years and was in a home in West Virginia.    Pete will be missed !  God Bless his soul.

Great pic, Tom. I assume it's Rathmann's old shop in Miami? I went there once in late '61. His Melbourne shop was about 4 miles from our West Melbourne shop. Pop bought his El Camino and GMC Caballero from Rathmann. Ted

Great stuff. You always blow us away.

Many thanks!
