(1-7-12) From Hal Scheie:
"It’s great to see this car again.
I went to college at the U of Colorado
in ’61-62.
I would hang out and lend a hand part
time at the old Bocar factory in Denver.
I remember this car well as it was Bob
Carnes personal driver and he would take it home daily.
I remember him driving it to the shop
putting it on a trailer and taking it to CDR raceway for a sports car race
where I was one of the pit crew
At the time I was there it had a Potvin
front mounted blower with Hilborn injection, and as I drove it a few times,
it was actually pretty smooth even with the with the injection.
Bob would cut the front suspensions off
Jags, and other foreign cars and graft them on the front of his custom
designed space frames. I don’t remember what he used on that car.
Bob was a bit of a character and when
I returned from my Christmas vacation the factory had burned down under
suspicious circumstances and that was the last I heard of him." |
