While some "might" be more familiar with Carroll Shelby...I've always felt that 2 of the most underrated men that have impacted the automotive racing world more/differently are Dan Durney and obviously Peter Brock...
Fantastic Upload!

Pete Brock is such an amazing individual 👏

I was married in 1970 and in the classic sacrifice I traded my 68 GTO on a 71 Datsun 510 2 door. optioned ac, a must here in SC and a tach. Never was sorry; I loved driving that little car. A lot of car for the money. Peter Brock quickly became my hero. Check out 510s on line occasionally and nice ones are bringing a good price.

Awesome interview. I love Mr. Brock and his work. I hope he writes his stories in a book maybe even his biography but it might be couple of volumes. The life he lives is astonishing and inspiring.

Thanks for the great interview! As a Datsun guy I always glean some wonderful history from Pete Brock interviews!

Great interview. The behind the scenes stories are the best.

[@bryandickerson5365]

Saw Pete give an exceptional talk at the Datsun NW gathering in 2019. He and Gail are wonderful people!

I have always been a fan of Mr. Brock’s work even before I knew who he was, from my best HO slot car which was a Cobra Daytona coupe to my car trailer that uses the best ideas I could apply from the aerovault.

Please publish the entire interview. Better yet bring him along to my house for dinner. I will invite 200 of my closest friends. You can continue the conversation at your leisure

I met Pete Brock a few years ago at the Solvang Roadster Classic Show . He had recently opened his BRE Shop in Henderson. He was a fantastic guy to talk to. As a Datsun guy it was like meeting our guru. 😉🏆 Pete helped to legitimize Datsun here in the United States. In order to do that you had to win. And that he did.
