The Passing of Vic Santos...AKA "The Professor"

At a Board of Directors meeting for ASRA in the 80's I confided in Vic that I was concerned about the rear suspension configuration for the new car I was building for stock eliminator. 1982 Camaro 305 stick shift. At that time there were only 3 of these cars running in the country and they were all automatics. We were at a restaurant and on a napkin Vic and I scratched out the configuration and Vic spoke of instant centers and many things I was clueless on. With some measurements and more napkins, Vic concluded that I would be ok and that the configuration was not all bad.

It was classic Vic and I will never forget him.

Vic was very sick a few months back and then he got better and rebounded for awhile before his passing. He made it to the track a couple of months ago and I visited with him for a few minutes. It was refreshing to see Vic that day.

My best to his family and all his friends

So sad to hear of the loss of Vic. He was one of the smartest men I ever met.We used to talk a lot when he came done to Jim's shop and at the track. He will be missed. God's speed Vic.

We are very sorry to hear the passing of Vic. I am very greatfull that We were able to see him at Epping this year. Even after 8years of us having his car, I could always call Vic and ask him questions and every time he had the answer like it was yesterday. One time we broke a throttle cable and we were not sure where to get the replaement, he asked me if we used the spare that he had, I said i was not sure we had a spare, he continued to tell me what box it was in and with what other parts where in that said box. And as you all know, that cable was in that box right were he said it was!!! We will miss hein that s for sure.
