Vasek Polak Jr joins the boys to give an anecdote-laden account of how his father left Chechoslovakia for America in 1949, a move which culminated in the first stand-alone Porsche dealership in the US and a motorsports business preparing race cars for some of the most decorated Stateside names including Roger Penske, Bob Holbert and George Follmer.
