In Memoriam: Pete Sohren

In Memoriam The SCORE family has lost another one of its own today with the tragic passing of veteran champion racer Pete Sohren of Glendale, Ariz. Sohren died as the result of a non-racing accident this afternoon (Jan. 18) while on the sand dune behind the El Cortez Hotel in San Felipe. He was driving his youngest daughter, Farrah, to her first local race qualifier along with older daughter Paige, in a UTV when his vehicle was struck directly on the driver’s side by another UTV and he was pronounced dead at the scene of the horrific accident. Pete’s daughters, Paige and Farrah, experienced considerable injuries and were transported the El Centro Regional Medical Center located in El Centro, CA, for further evaluation.      ‘Pistol’ Pete, as he was known, was a well-known and well-liked desert racer who raced in several classes including SCORE Trophy Truck. He also built race trucks and was a former SCORE Class 5 season point champion and a media personality with numerous radio and TV appearances.      Further details of the accident will be announced as accurate information is received.      Memorial services are pending. SCORE sends its most sincere condolences to the Sohren family and they all will remain in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. Rest in peace, Pistola!
