The Player's/GM race car in this collection is 1 of 32 lLEIR7U Player's Camaro Z28s built in the spring of 1991 for the upcoming racing season. The car was ordered through Penticton B.C. Chevy Dealer Sentes GM, by Bill Drossos during the fall of 1990. Drossos finished the 90 Western Series strongly, with a 2^nd place in the finale at Calgary on route to earning over $14,000 in prize money for the season. For most of the 89 and 90 racing season the Drossos racing team was funded by friends and family along with help from local body shop sponsor D & N Auto Body. With ever improving form during the 1990 season, Drossos was able to attract associate sponsors, with Momo Canada and Clarion car audio coming on board. In order to mount a more competitive challenge for 91, Drossos sought out a primary sponsor and a deal was reached with local Labatt's representatives to promote the Budweiser brand. The car was purchased just ten days prior to the season opener at Calgary's Race City where it would start from the front row. A combination of race incidents and less than ideal preparation would make for a series of disappointing results during the 91 campaign. The lone highlight being the Vancouver Molson Indy where Drossos recorded the fastest lap of any Western competitor on the rain soaked circuit.

For the start of the 1992 season a new series issued engine was installed to comply with the one season engine rule. NHL All Star Glenn Anderson assisted with the sponsorship quest, leading to the Tomokazu Japanese Restaurant livery. During the 92 season Drossos was able to solidify his reputation as a top competitor with consistent top six qualifying and finishes amongst more experienced and heavily funded rivals.

In the series finale at Mosport Drossos was spun and then suffered a black flag stop and go penalty. Undeterred Drossos put on a spirited through-the-pack drive to come from a low of 26^th to finish a respectable 14^th.

After the 92 racing season was over the car was converted back to road use by removing all safety equipment and returning the car to the original Arctic White color. Bill Drossos used the car as his primary transport until the spring of 2006 when it was insured under the collector vehicle program. During the summer of 2008 Bill sold the car to the Carter Classic Muscle Car collection with the intent of restoring it to the original race ready condition. With work scheduled to begin in the fall, Drossos, with help from former series competitors and engineers, was able to secure an original series exhaust, roll cage, and original sponsor decals. What started out as a simple clean and paint snowballed into a complete restoration encompassing nearly the entire vehicle. For historical authenticity the original race worn Morna steering wheel is fitted along with the associate sponsor Clarion Car audio stereo system. Closer inspection reveals the race set-up markings on the strut towers. Of particular note are the letters MOS that signify Mosport, the site of the Player's/GM Series final race. The Car now appears exactly as it did during the midway point of the 1991 season. It is now quite possibly the finest example of a race car that participated in one of North Americas premier showroom stock racing series.

Again the highlight of the season came at Vancouver's Molson Indy when Drossos was able to bump friend, mentor, and Series Champion Richard Spenard out of the 'Fast 8' in qualifying. Drossos drove a solid race, resulting in a top ten finish in a field of over 40 of Canada's best drivers.

The car resides  in Daryl Carter's personal muscle car collection in Penticton BC, Canada.
