For this July 4th celebration, there were six classes: cars with one Piccolo Pete, cars with two Piccolo Petes, Open, Modified, Best Wipeout, and Most Creative.
The perfect melding of thrust, directional stability, and patriotism melded together at the annual 4th of July Piccolo Pete races on a suburban street in SoCal on Friday, and we got to watch—and even participate. Held every year for the last 25 years, the “Piccolo Pete Race” is a celebration of neighborliness, community, and controlled explosions in bucolic suburban Orange County, California.
As soon as I got to the signup table at the races, Steve Doughty’s daughter, who had been doing this her “whole life,” and seeing my obvious inexperience at this sort of thing, began ripping the plastic bases off all my Piccolo Petes as a sort of race prep. Another kid grabbed my plastic Mack truck and began tearing the cab off the truck “for better aerodynamics.” The Petes were taped together in rows of five, then stacked atop one another in a powerful Piccolo Pete pile.
