Torrance had a heart attack in June!!

[Doug in the woods]

I know he sat out a race but never would have guessed a heart attack!!
how old is Steve??
Perhaps an existing medical issue but passing the NHRA physical??
hopefully nothing to serious??

It was a result of the radiation and chemo from his cancer treatment from 2000 here is a link to his site where they discuss the cancer http://www.torrenceracing.com/team.html and here is the link to where they discuss the heart attack and treatment/reason http://www.torrenceracing.com/ being a lymphoma cancer survivor myself I'm "waiting" for the same thing to happen as the odds are good it will. Also Fast Jack is a lymphoma survivor.

He mentioned a heart thing" during one of his TV interviews (All Access?) but I assumed it was a Cardiac Ablation for arythymia - Wow having a stent done and only missing one race WOW!
I marvel at the advances in medical treatment (technology and techniques) every day.
