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 said what was a matter.
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".

"The McKee Mk.6 of Chuck Frederick can be seen behind George's McLaren
M12." |
