Default Bob Jane

Bob Jane, Australian Touring Car Legend and original owner of 2 Camaro ZL-1s (#33 and #52), has passed away at the age of 88.
He won the Australian Touring Car Championship four times between 1962 and 1972, with the 1971 and 1972 wins behind the wheel of his well-known Hugger Orange car (ZL-1 #33) pictured below. He was forced by a rule change to switch the 427 for a 350 for the '72 ATCC season but still won. The other car he imported (ZL-1 #52) was campaigned as a drag car.

Rest in Peace, Bob.
