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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
