Bob Murray and Eric Van Oosten (not sure if they are regulars on hybridz) have entred their 77 280z for this years One Lap of America. As a member of the media crew and an owner of a Z I was delighted to see them there. To find out more info on the car and the even visit http://www.lake-effect-racing.com and http://www.onelapofamerica.com. We have a ton of videos and picture and I can trully say that they are great and answer any questions anyone asked them. I think this is their first One Lap. To follow the event keep tracking the lake effect racing website (my racing team/friends).

 

 

If you have any questions feel free to email me too!

Cheers.

I don't think that Bob is a 'Lap Puppy'. If I remember correctly, he has run it a number of times before with his wife as co-driver (Sherri or Shirley).

 

Good to see one out there, I'd love to do it with an RBZ if the engine would hold together. The GTR boys didn't seem to have much luck a couple years ago.

 

But - unfortunately, my driving skills probably wouldn't be up to the track work.

I have a rehersal dinner (a good buddy of mine is getting hitched) near Road America on Friday. This would be so cool to see and take a few pictures.

 

Hmmm, just checked the weather "Friday:

Chance of showers. Highs in the upper 40s and lows in the low 40s.". Do they race in the rain?

Good Morning it is Friday 9 AM CT and we are getting ready. It would be very cool if you stop by and say Hi I will be in the Hond Element (Media Van) Un-Stickered. I take shots and send them to my editor in the van who then decides what goes on, sometimes he forgets things sometimes he does not agree with me but oh well I will try to get more pictures up of the Z.

Miki,

I missed out. I was late and ended up seeing the 280Z pass by me while in route to the track (I was only 15 minutes away). I'm pretty sure they saw me, I had half my body hanging out the window with my thumbs up. That car sounds MEAN!

There's a picture of Bob Murray's Z during the 2007 event in the new Car & Driver.

Is he a member, or more to the point, does anyone know him? I'd really like to know about his car and what the One Lap tour is like.

 

Thanks in advance.
