Racing Car Collection, The BRE Z (loads of pics, 56k patients is a virtue)

General Chat

Q:

Got this as a present from a friend. Its a rare box with the story of the BRE racing team and comes with a die cast car. Cant read it because it is in Japanees, but that makes it all the more better. I just enjoy looking at the pictures!!

Look at the chin spoilers. There are two distinct shapes, I wonder if this was a development thing?

You need to get John Morton to sign that book and car. I've meet him a few times and have a few things autographed by him. He is a really nice guy and an awesome racecar driver.

I truly enjoyed the photos and the history lesson.
One question though, can anyone explain what is going on with the drivers seat in the #46 car? I see the head pad mounted to the roll cage but where is the rest of the bucket seat? Was this modified for safety or functionality?
Just curious.
Thanks again for sharing wannaBREz! Need to find you a friend that can read Japanese.......

I had a chance to buy that same item---I guess I should have!
Those photos of Riverside Raceway kill me---if you stand in the right spot on the perimiter road around the Moreno Valley Mall, you cas still see the same rock formations to this day!
Man, closing Riverside sucked!

John Morton is so cool. He's the Buddy Holly of racing!
Interesting to see the triple solex carbs on a Z. I've seen 'em on ebay
but never on a Z. Can't get a better endorsement than being on a BRE car!
