The restaurant was the best in town, Joe’s nearby International Motors was always filled with Ferrari exotica, and Joe was always around and he knew everyone of his customers by name. His Ferrari events at Mirafiori in Lamont were not to be missed. And then he developed his historic races at Road America. Joe was one-of-a-kind and will never be replaced. He left us all too soon. But Burt Levy tells the tale as only BS can — splended stuff.

We were there every year for Thanksgiving dinner, amongst other special occasions. What a gem that place was and couldn’t agree more with your assessment of Joe. Nicely done Burt, looking forward to the next installment.
