Sorry to hear of his passing.
Never met him but was a well known name. He will be missed by many.

Re: Passing of Pete Boody AKA Pistol Pete
Not only did we lose a very helpful "Old Wing Guru" but a beloved expert and friend to the GW community. Mark (his son) has decided to shutter the business. Anyone know of another Carb Expert that can do these carbs expertly like Pete did?
