Yeah, Calvin, it was Dan Blocker, the Bonanza star, that shared ownership of race cars with my childhood buddy, Michael Sheridan. They had garage space in Kensington, Maryland in a place called "Gasoline Alley". Mike and Dan were both about the same size, so it is hard to believe that they could sit an open wheel one seater. Mike was quite the mechanic and I suppose Dan Blocker was the money behind the partnership.
