Santo Spadaro saw Orrie Simko in the PBX buzzing around the A and B paddocks at the 2021 Lime Rock Historics and asked if he could take it for a spin. Just driving it around the infield was a blast. Santo came back from his ride. He was interested. He loved the history, the car had Italian components that gave it extra interest, and Candy was a mechanic/racer similar to Santo. He was hooked. It was the perfect fit. This way, the PBX would stay in the VSCCA and be raced and not hidden away where no one would see it and get to appreciate it. For Orrie Simko and Jeb Ebbott, finding the PBX a new and understanding caretaker in Santo Spadaro was a privilege.
