Wow Bob how long will you have that car around the shop? I want to see it.

 

I noticed CP in the backround of one of the pics-- NOT FAIR PONG!! how did you know to show up??

 

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........

ANYTIME CP!! I am thinking of coming up for rumored BBQ We'll see.
IF YOU TRACK, I'll haul!!

You live in Bobs shop??!!

 

Bob....Thanks for the photos and great information. Lately this form has been getting kinda lame IMHO with all the DA polls and such. You have renewed my faith THANKS!!! for somthing very COOL!!

 

Best. Car. Ever.

 

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.

 

That is imho the most beatiful race car ever built.

Btw, aren't they supposed to have a windshield wiper?

 

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for posting the photos.

Tom,

Who was driving that Miller car? I remember Bob Wollek & John Andretti driving that at Miami one year. Ah, the good ole' days....

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
