remembering Al
I have been on the track numerous times with Al, mostly thru HMSA and General racing. The first time after I was soundly thumped, I was certain that if I peeked under the hood I would find a 1600 or even 1750. Much to my chagrin it turned out to be a 1300. Now his car was heavier, ran a 1300, and the driver was 20 years older. I've got to find out more about this guy! Instead of the usual cocky, false modesty found at the sharp end of the grid, what I discovered was a humble and gracious gentleman. He might of been an amazing driver, but more importantly he was a good human being, and he will be missed at track.
I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to Myr (very sweet to my kids) and the rest of the family.
I hope Sophia goes to an appreciative new owner. The added bonus, you're probably going to have Al as a co-pilot. God bless.
