Peter Dawson - Waterford Hills Racer - Ferret & PMD Special
Posted: Tue May 16, 2023 7:10 am
Good morning,
I am a historic motorsports researcher looking for information about a Detroit area racer by the name of Peter Dawson. He raced at Waterford Hills among other tracks in the Midwest and beyond. While his career involved a number of cars, he built three specials. two small-engined specials called Ferrets and one large-engined car called the PMD Special. He was active between about 1956 and 1968. My interest comes from the recent restoration of Ferret I and the on-going restoration of Ferret II. I have been tasked with producing Concours Books for both cars and am seeking any and all information about the cars to include things like photos, press clippings, entry lists race results, etc.
Regarding the PMD Special, we are gathering more information about this car. On this Forum, a member named James Burks posted the attached in 2014. I am interested in discovering more about what he said in this post. Does anyone know his whereabouts or anything further about the PMD Special?
You may contact me on this Forum or at mmatune@cox.net .
Thank you.
Take care & stay safe,
Mike
