While i’m sure Pete would have prefered to win, I don’t think he’s complaining about picking up & extra $1,500. for heading 10 miles south of what he was already there for.

Damn. Furious Pete’s record is taking a beating! But I gotta hand it to him for doing two comps in one day.

The low 30’s ?. No wonder Pete never boasted about his hot dog totals in practice . Joey would kick his ass ten times over Even the Shredder could probably beat Furious Pete in dogs

I’ll finish 4th…for $2,250. Now that would be worth argueing over.

Good job to both Goose and Pete. You can never write off Tom, nor can you expect Pete to win every contest he’s in. Other than Koby, Pete’s the best independent out there.

This was Furious Pete’s first dunking hot dog eating contest. Not bad for the first one, hopefully he can improve his numbers!

Pete’s numbers are worth debating just because of his early morning hot dog stunt. 29.5 hdbs is not exactly terrible given the field of talent at Mission Viejo… he did tie for first, technically.

12 minutes. Knock it down to ten, and he’s in the mid 20s.
