[From Bob Green of CVAR]
An old racer known to many and more than a few VMC guys, Toly Arutunoff was seriously injured on Monday in a traffic accident in Amarillo, Texas. Toly raced with the biggest names of the 1950 and 1960 time and built Hallett Motor Speedway.
Toly had stopped to assist another driver who had spun on the snow and ice on I-40 in Amarillo. He was struck by another car (that did not stop) and suffered a traumatic amputation of his right leg and multiple fractures of his left leg along with other injuries. The only reason that he did not bleed to death was the extremely cold conditions at the time. He is in grave condition at an Amarillo hospital.
