Errrr.... Paul,

I live there, remember? The 962 is hangered in a space across the parking lot from Bob's shop. So when the owner's around, you can possibly see it. I was there when he took the 962 out of his trailer, to swap his M3 into the trailer instead.

Hey Paul, I just have this GREAT idea. You HAVE a trailer, so you are 50% there already. Can I bump a ride? YeeeHaw, let's go racing in OG's 96........

I was thinking these colors were part of the Bruce Levan/Bayside Disposal Team at one time. The overhead air scoop and lower frontal area tells me this car couldn't have been run in the time when Stuck, Ludwig & Weaver were driving for them. D. Dobson/J. Andretti sound right but it was damaged in 1996.....I don't remember IMSA running GTP then, damn I'm getting old!

Tom - I do know that this was the original paint job of the car, and yes it was run by the Bayside team.... It was actually damaged in a club race in '96.

A good friend of mine worked on Jim Busby's 962 team, which IIRC was the Bayside effort. I'll ping him as ask.. Maybe he could shed some light on its history..

962, nothing like it


Quick Reply: So what showed up at the shop today? A 962 :)
