An absolute giant of American OW racing in my early years of watching the sport. He had a good run, but Alzheimer's is a B. Hopefully, he is suffering no more and wish comfort to family and friends.

Q: Can you please pass along a Carl Haas story that most long time fans won't know?
Robin Miller: In 2005 or 2006, we were at Road America and my sister had found some Paul Newman treasure in a second-hand store in L.A. It included movie flyers from Cool Hand Luke, a poster from Winning, and the Life magazine where he was on the cover stumping for George McGovern for president. I asked P.L. (who hated signing autographs) if he would autograph a couple of items, and he wound up signing everything – including every page of the 12-page movie flyer. I thanked P.L. and walked out and Carl followed me. "How much to you want for all that stuff?" he said. I told him it wasn't mine to sell, but he insisted there had to be a price tag. So I finally said I'd trade him all the Hollywood treasure for... http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints...=&limitstart=3 |

I also enjoyed the story of Carl blessing Rahal's car thinking it was Mario's! Rahal then went on to dominate and win the race.
