With two unidentified people.<br /> <br /> According to an email from Morten Larsen, who is currently (April 2022) writing a book on Eugen Bjørnstad:<br /> <br /> &quot;Pete arranged for Eugen to bring his racing car to New York in 1937 to drive for a prize at Roosevelt Raceway.<br /> <br /> &quot;The travel to New York and the race led to a lot of trouble for Eugen, and [as I can read from Pete’s writing in his diary] – to Pete too!<br /> <br /> &quot;You sent me Pete’s diary, and I can read there he was utterly disappointed with Eugen. Eugen on his part told me that the expectations Pete built up to him as a champion racer was far too high.<br /> <br /> &quot;He saw immediately that he had no chance, and when he lost, he was threatened with prison until he could pay &#039;his depths&#039;. So Eugen smuggled his valuable Alfa Romeo on the ship during the night and hid away until the ship left the harbour. Then he looked up and saw Pete on the key with one mafioso on either side! <br /> Pete refer to this as very troublesome.<br /> <br /> &quot;In the book I must tell the reader a little about Pete and his achievements, and I don’t think you mind that.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pete Sanstol Gallery]]</div>
