12/14/08 Ned Stites III Tas was the greatest and the best ambassador for racing there ever was.   Every car he drove was a winner. He always had time for the fans and treated   you like a friend. Who could ask for more. God bless him!
12/14/08 Ralph Richards, Jr. Will this composite be available to the general public? What a great tribute to a great driver.
12/14/08 Ronnie G Very nice composite of a great driver (IMO). As Ned said, he was a great ambassador for the sport with his fantastic personality. As a child I idolized Al & was proudly able to call him a friend. Thanks for the memories-- Ronnie G
12/14/08 Fred Voorhees Wow, what a great compilation and memorial to one of the greatest drivers of all time! Al Tas was my very first favorite driver and to a little kid in the stands at Flemington....well, he was bigger than life. A true hero if there ever was one! I would also like to know if this would ever be available in poster form. I have a place in my bar room that it would be perfectly at home in. I can start building the frame right away!
12/15/08 Roger McCloughan I agree. What a gentleman racer, track official, and also co-worker of my dad at the Kuhl Corp. in Flemington. Tas was almost unbeatable when the "Polecat" was dialed in! This composite is wonderful and would be a
great poster!
