(3-10-11) From Bill Oker
(Son of Bob Oker)
"Mom and I think the guy in the red pants
is Dad. Mom can't remember him ever wearing red pants but it looks like
his build and the giveaway is his shoes...Moccasins...in those days Dad
used handmade Indian moccasins for race shoes. He said they give you great
pedal feel...!! And FYI... Mom's part Indian.
The guy pushing the car next to Dad in
the white outfit is definitely Bill Rudd...close family friend and chief
mechanic for all of Joe Lubin's cars. But the guy on the other side of
the car in the dark kind of maroon shirt is a puzzle...it's not Joe Lubin...might
be Mr. Aston Martin himself: David Brown...?? And BTW...they did
run the DBR2 once on the East Coast...at Lime Rock. Dad placed 2nd overall
in the main event in the car right as it came right off the boat in New
York. The caption in the attached photo is
wrong... that's Dad...not George Constantine. And...as I said...he was
2nd... |
