RS Barn is closing shop (Pete Fitzpatrick is retiring)
#1

Pete announced this morning that RS Barn will cease operations as of May 31, 2021. Pete has been a valuable resource for this community and was, for a time an owner of this site with me, and Bob Larson (Flash).

 

I personally will be forever grateful for Pete's contribution to making the 968 better with his constant development and testing. He never was too busy to pick up the phone and answer a question, even if there was nothing in it for him. I spent hours in his shop, and watched how carefully every customer was served.

 

I hope that if you have a way to reach out to him, that you will wish him well, and a happy healthy future for him and his family.

 

Jay

Pete has become a good friend over the years. He designed my race car and built a super engine. He has always been available for help, consultation or just chitchat.  Enjoy retirement!
