"The starter you had listed as Al Papp is actually Al Torres. Al
Papp held the title of race coordinator."
(9-16-09) From Can-Am racer Jerry Entin:
"Joe
Playan would like you to put up what he thought of Al Torres on your
picture of him by the flags.
Joe felt Al Torres was a 100% guy. He was a great starter that was
really interested in the drivers safety. If he felt you were driving over
your head, he would call you in and say , "You better sit this one out,
it is dangerous out there and you need to think."
That is what he did if you went off course during a race. Joe knows
because Al called him in at Willow Springs when he went off course." |
