(6-30-08) From
website visitor Charlie Vehle: "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." |
