| (3-7-08) From Can-Am driver and
website contributor Jerry Entin:
"At the back is Luciano Vidotti AKA Lucy.
George finished 2nd in this race."
(3-7-08) More from Jerry:
"George told me a very good story about
that race and I just confirmed it.
Here it is: George Eaton was having nothing
but trouble with the engine at this race. He only qualified 10th. He went
to practice and they couldn't start the engine. Bruce McLaren came up and
asked about the problem. George said the engine wouldn't start and they
hadn't the slightest idea what was wrong. Bruce then said let me send my
head engine guy over. It was George Bolthoff. George fixed the problem
for George. He then went out in the race with no practice. He finished
2nd to Bruce. I just wanted to show how everyone helped everyone else in
the day".
(2-9-08) More from Jerry:
"The McKee Mk.6 of Chuck Frederick can
be seen behind George's McLaren M12." |
