Peter Brock is Coming to Carlisle
Legendary Designer and Racer Onsite at Import & Kit Weekend
Peter Brock is a highly regarded designer and author within the automotive hobby. After leaving Shelby American in 1965, Brock launched his own company, Brock Racing Enterprises (a.k.a. BRE). Prior to doing so, however; Brock had some pretty impressive successes in the automotive design field, most notably penning the classic forms that would eventually become the famed ’63 “split window” Corvette Stingray, a design celebrating 50 years in 2013. In addition, after a move to the west coast, Brock designed the body for the World Championship winning Cobra Daytona Coupe for Shelby American.
On his own with BRE, he not only was designing cars for companies like Hino, Toyota and Triumph, he started his own race team and literally put the Japanese automotive industry into the history books with his famed team of BRE Datsuns, winning two C Production National Championships with the 240Z and two 2.5 Trans-Am Championships with driver John Morton and his beloved BRE Datsun 510s.

The people's choice award needs to be reworked. Next year I suggest opening the voting to the public looking at the cars and not having it be a popularity contest. Losing to a bone stock, undetailed no-effort car was kind of a bummer. You could still charge the $10 for the contest.

May sound like sour grapes but just my 2 cents.
