Bob,
That is DEFINITELY Richard Ruff's Bobsy SR3. Richard bought it from Franklin
Rudolpf in a basket, and restored it with an Alfa engine. It had previously had
a Ford or Twin Cam engine. Richard put a steel subframe - roll bar in the
center section of the car, similar to the one in John Baird's car. I recall
that Phil Denny's PDR shop did the restoration. Richard ran it for a short
time, and then had it for sale for a long time. Eventually, I think that Don
Blenderman bought it. I don't know where it went then, but that is the same
paint job and stripe Richard had on it, and the same roll bar.
Don

Harrington replied. Mystery solved. Bob A. --- Original Message ---On: Sat,

It is/was Jim Ziegler's car. I have no idea if he still owns it. The last
address I have is : RD 1, Box 69A, Tidioute, PA 16351. No phone #Bob

Bob & Ray (Hey, any chance you guys used to have a comedy team???. Didn't
think so),
Anyway, as you may, or may not, know I'm the keeper of the Bobsy Registry,
www.bobsyregistry.com. As noted in the email exchange below, we're trying to
identify an Alfa powered Bobsy which was at your Watkins Glen event this past
summer.
Can you be of any help? If it is Jim Ziegler's car (just my guess) I'd really
like to get in contact with him. The registry lists him as a Bobsy owner, but
we have no contact info to reach him.
Thanks,Bob Alder - Denver

<htompkins@xxxxxxx>Subject: 3rd row! Bob- This was an Alfa reunion wkn @ The
Glen sponsored by SVRA. Looks like a Bobsy to me... Any idea who's? Must be
powered by Alfa to be in this race. Could not find on entry list. Hugh
--- From Bob to Hugh & Bobsy_Talk --Hugh, Indeed, it must be an Alfa powered
Bobsy. It might be Jim Ziegler's SR-3. Jim is located in Penn. and races all
over the east with a number of different cars. But I haven't been able to
develop any contact info for Jim since establishing the Registry so I can't
confirm that. So, I'm forwarding this query to the Bobsy_Talk email group. Can
anyone help us out here? Was anyone else at the Zippo Glen event who might
have an entry list? I tried looking at AMBs site, but they don't identify
cars, only people and didn't see anything listed as an Alfa feature race.
Victory Lane would be a good source, but I don't keep old issues. If anyone
knows who's car this is, let us know. And if anyone knows Jim, please have him
contact me. Frank Sljejko, do you know who this might be?. You're an
Alfa/Bobsy guy. Bob Aldercc: bobsy_talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
