The Bocar was done by Bob Carnes from Denver. He raced a Glocker Porsche in
the mid 50's and then did his own car later. I believe he was a architect.
I raced against him several times, the last at Steamboat Springs in 1955. I
do know he made the Salt Lake races in about 1958-59 at Midvale Airport
with his own car, cause I was asked to drive for him but the deal went South
($$$$$).
