December 6, 2022Why this Photo of the BRE Hino Samurai Brings Back Memories of One of My Favorite Race Stories. Peter Brock
I still have a photo taken of you and I at mile 1 at Black Rock Navada while we watched the Brits try to make their first run at the “‘sound barrier” which they later achieved.
Thanks for the story !

They should make a movie !! LOL
Great story, every time I hear it.
This is great American history! The fact that Mr. Brock re-engineered the AC Ace with antiquated buggie leaf springs to outrun Enzo Ferrari’s GT cars and even prototypes of the time is the real story of the Fighter. More than once in his career, Pete overcame incredible odds and diversity from friends and foes to end up being in the lead.
Thanks Peter Brock!
It’s really a shame that Ford didn’t continue the Daytona cars. L
I am so lucky to be so close to this awesome history. I wanna party with you guys
A great peek into how it was done back in the day!
Thank you again for another great bit behind the scenes of Cobra Daytona racing. These recollections are true gems!
A great story . I’ve owned a 427 Cobra , replica , and always wanted to build a Daytona coupe.Too old now and working on a 65 Corvette coupe , close , but no Daytona .
I love reading about the Daytonas.
Thank you .
Please keep it up.

I knew the story and have heard it repeated often. I knew of Mann’s insistence that his drivers win, and of Bob Bondurant’s disobeying Mann’s orders, and I knew about the “dump ’em in the sea” threat, but I did not know that Mann paid for return shipping of the 5 coupes back to Shelby…out of his own pocket !! Thank you Alan Mann!
