Team Brock

marcus · 26 Jan 2002, 13:07 (Ref:204680)

so will it happen this time ???/

its been talked about for so long now and again it has come up.

Peter Brock has apparently got involved with Rod Nash Racing and has backing from both Holden and Mobil and of course James will be the driver and joining him will be Craig baird.

But will it happen this time and if it does how do you think the team will go ?

remember also that Ron Harrop is rumored to be joining as well.

I for one am hoping that it does happen and I wish them all the best.

Flaggie · 26 Jan 2002, 21:26 (Ref:204924)

I hope it does happen couple of reasons:

1) I cant see Peter Brock getting involved unless there's a chance of him winning. If this means there's another Holden team that might challenge the TWR cars, then that's good.

2) Good to see Bairdo get a seat full time.

3) Rod Nash is a decent bloke and deserves some success.

I'd like to see it.

Both Harrop and Holt are involved.

gary Holt? In what capacity? As another also ran?

Morris 1100 · 27 Jan 2002, 12:01 (Ref:205192)

I think that Gary Holt will suply a test track for the team (Free rides on the karts at Eastern Creek karts)

marcus · 27 Jan 2002, 12:26 (Ref:205206)

Cynic! We all know that AF print nothing but the truth, the hole truth and nothing but the truth (anyone found my missing double-u key please?)

Morris 1100 · 28 Jan 2002, 06:11 (Ref:205660)

I think it is a goer it has all the right ingredients.
(1) a driver that said he didn't want to follow his father (stepfather) and just wanted to be a mechanic.
(2) a manager who is well known for his management skills, re HDT v ATO, HDT v GMH.
With all that what else do you need?

Buckshot · 28 Jan 2002, 06:34 (Ref:205667)

And also don't forget:

(3) Co-driver who even to this day in this very same Auto Action article is STILL squawking that he doesn't know the tracks. Do you think lack of track knowledge bothered Marcus Ambrose when you got punted and he took over your seat ?

Amaroo Park · 28 Jan 2002, 07:31 (Ref:205672)

morris I didn't know Brock Brock had said he didn't want to follow his fathers footsteps and be a Concreter

Buckshot · 28 Jan 2002, 10:57 (Ref:205711)

Yes...it's only a matter of time before we see the headlines along the lines of "Racing is in the blood..." whilst we all know James is Brocky's step son !

Morris 1100 · 28 Jan 2002, 11:25 (Ref:205714)

But his real dad raced a mini so it might be in the blood ................. and so might polarizers

Amaroo Park · 29 Jan 2002, 04:46 (Ref:206110)

His real Dad and Stepdad would both have to be Drag Racers wouldn't they?????????

Ray Bell · 29 Jan 2002, 11:33 (Ref:206192)

No, that's his mum...

TEAM BROCK !!!!!!
BROCK and RICHARDS together again
well Steven Richards anyway
Well it is true, but at the moment it's a 2 car team for TARGA Tassie

Is this team every one is confusing with a V8 supercar one

I belive James has been preparing the 2 cars at a Melbourne work shop and dont they both look startling in the corporate RED of HOLDEN

Cant wait to see where Brock can place the Monaro, a top 3 finish!!
Last years Monaro( the Ute was just a cover up )was running well even with its problems and wiyh it now sorted it should be a real flyer

RaceTime · 30 Jan 2002, 22:39 (Ref:206993)

Are they running the car in the Grand Prix Rally as well? I know Brock is - just not sure who his navigator is at this stage (won't receive the entry list until about a week before the event although I have the schedule on line)

Group'C' · 30 Jan 2002, 22:44 (Ref:206996)

They are running in the GP rally and peter's daughter is Navigating

I'm not sure if Steven is running but it would be good practice for him , his navigator for Targa is Jenny Cole , does anyone know what she's done before?

Buckshot · 30 Jan 2002, 22:46 (Ref:206998)

Saw the Monaro Brocky will be driving for the Trading Post Rally on the news last night. They showed a quick 5 second shot of the car being thrown around a couple of corners - looked absolutely magnificent !

I thought the Monaro design was a little dull when it was first revealed but it seems to look a whole lot better in the shots that have been released of it since then.

How dare I ever doubt those genius craftsmen at Holden !

Hey! Enough AF bashing... I know for a fact that there are at least two articles in the current edition which won't win their author any lie telling contests

Cole Porter?

Ray Bell · 3 Feb 2002, 10:12 (Ref:209455)

I said 'girlfriend'... and her surname was Cole.

Raced a time or two, too... no longer a Cole though. Well known about the place.

RaceTime · 3 Feb 2002, 10:29 (Ref:209467)

Didn't happen to co-drive with a Mrs. Bill Brown did she? (I forgot the smiley btw!)

Morris 1100 · 3 Feb 2002, 12:07 (Ref:209522)

Was that when he had 2 on the go at once (Or was it 3)
