I think it was in '92. Pepi was hurt right after Bob Shupp was killed at Belleville.
I just stumbled across this thread while trying to get an update on his condition. I'm really glad to find out that he's doing so well. I got to know him a little and always enjoyed visiting with him.
Here's a shot of him waiting to qualify there at Belleville in '92.
