“I was the second employee at Brock’s. The third was a guy named George Boscoff and he was John’s best friend. He introduced me to John at Willow Springs. John was running his own Lotus 23, and John won his race, and he came rolling in and George introduced me to him, and I was pretty excited, not only to meet him, but shake the hand of somebody who won a race. So that’s where I met John.”  – Joe Cavaglieri
