Hylton graduated summa cum laude in 1979 from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.^[3] After graduation, he went to work as a test engineer for General Motors Alison Gas Turbines in Indianapolis. In earned his M.S.M.E. on a General Motors Graduate Fellowship at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. After completing his graduate education, Pete continued his career with Alison (which was bought out by Rolls Royce) until 2003.^[3]

Hylton joined Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis in 2003 as an Associate member of the faculty of the MET Department of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI.^[4] He became an associate professor in 2004, directing the department's Motorsports Technology program.^[4] In 2007, he earned his second graduate degree, a M.S. Applied & Industrial Mathematics from IUPUI.^[3]

Amateur Racing

A competition driver for 25 years, Hylton has been active in the Sports Car Club of America since 1973. In January, 2007, he received the SCCA's highest honor,the Woolf Barnato Award, for his service to the organization.^[4] Hylton, who served on the SCCA board of directors for nine years, remains the youngest-ever elected member of that body.
