Meet Peter Brock this Saturday at 4 PM at the Factory Five trailer at The 2010 Mitty (Road Atlanta). Peter Brock is best known as the designer of the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe and from racing Datsun's under the BRE banner.

He'll be taking questions about his days at Shelby, his Datsun racing days, his memorabilia, restorations, photo journalism, etc.

Pete Brock (at about age 20) also did the initial 1957 design for GM that led to the Stingray.

Amazing guy.

Mr. Brock is a true gentleman. Is anyone going to the Mitty? I'm thinking about driving up from the Tampa Bay area.

Had a great time at the Mitty today. Peter lead a group of us around the track in a 370Z race car. If you want to come to the Cobra meet and greet be by the Factory Five trailer at 4 PM; rain or shine. If you have a Daytona coupe model or poster, bring it along. He was graciously signing things all day today.

I don't think so. Superformance had just two cars and a really small booth. Factory Five and Backdraft had nice set ups, but not Superformance.

We actually built that car for Nissan. They dropped it off on March 19 and in 28 days we took a bone stock Nissan 370Z sport model and stripped the interior, built a custom roll cage, custom seat frames for the Sparco racing seats, installed a myriad of performance parts that all conform to SCCA T2 class rules, performed the custom tuning, installed performance suspension and brake components and did the custom paint job and installed the Nismo body kit. It felt like a SEMA project but it was fun. Mr. Brock designed the paint scheme and STILLEN did all of the build.

It was a great looking car. I told the guy from Nissan that if they would put the GTR engine in the 370 body I would love to have one.

Here's a couple of pics of Peter Brock.
