Design Legend Peter Brock and me
Today, I had the honor of spending some time with legend, Peter Brock. For those who don't know, Peter Brock penned the split window vette while working at GM design. Then he went on to design the Cobra Daytona coupe for Carroll Shelby. Peter Brock also founded a successful race team known as Brock Racing Enterprises, BRE. The coolest Datsuns of all time came from his shop.
For fun, he recently built a pro-touring Datsun 510 with a small block Chevy. Well today, I had the pleasure of showing him around my car and provide some insight into pro-touring as we know it. It didn't take much explanation. Peter Brock pointed and poked at all the key elements that make up a pro-touring car.
If you would like to meet this living legend in person, Peter Brock will serve as the Grand Marshal at the Classic Motorsports Mitty at Road Atlanta: April 30-May 2 2010.

So did you try to get him to come to any of our events?
It would be cool to have him just show up to have fun.
Give some more insights about what he had to say.May The Horsepower Be With You !!!

Very Cool indeed Steve. What an honor to get the chance to meet and converse with such a legend. Too bad I will be in Cali that weekend, maybe next time.
