(7-20-08)  From Pearce/Pete Woods' son Mike Woods:  "I don't know for sure, one of his old stories was he used to change his name so he could race in multiple classes with multiple cars in the same day...  I think that was like the "I had to walk to school up hill both ways in the snow" story.  One of his old friends said that if he was racing a British car or European car he used Pearce, when he drove the Chevy powered Devin's he went by Pete.  He always went by Pete when I was with him in the 70's and beyond."

(12-1-13  From author and historian Jim Sitz:  "MG driver Harold Erb jumped from s./c.  M.G. right to the white D-Type.  He was from Whittier.  The Jaguar was usually driven by Pearce Woods… Quite a jump!"
