The calendars are also available in our onine store.

And for those who aren't familiar with the magazine, go to http://classicmotorsports.net/try/

If you request one by Dec. 15, I think there's still a pretty good chance you'll get the Jan. issue with the calendar.

Hi Tim:

Thanks - I ordered a few extra Classic Motorsports Calanders from the on-line store.

Found them listed under "Merchandise" in the Store..

FWIW,

Carl B.

I also just received my newest issue of Classic Motorsports magazine.

I noted the cover of the calender. That is Stacey driving her Dad's old Morgan (the purple helmet is a giveaway).

Then I see a beautifully restored 240Z. This "fanatic" restored it. :classic:

Congrats, Carl.

P/S I assume that Pete Brock is not Peter Brock (who helped design the Shelby Cobra Coupe)??

Here is a picture of Peter Brock when I meet him a couple of years ago:

Same guy. BRE = Brock Racing Enterprises, now found at bre2.net

often confused with the late Peter Brock who coincidentally died driving a Daytona replica:

Hi Doc:

Thanks - that picture was taken by Mr. Brock, and it is a great shot. He did a photo shoot with the car last March at Amelia for Classic Motorsports.

Yes, that's the same Peter Brock that designed the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray (originally drawn around 1957 as I recall), and designed the Cobra Daytona Coupe while at Shelby America. He also did design work for Toyota, Triumph, Hino and several others. As mentioned above, he has a Web Site now, on which he and his wife are publishing a lot of historic information from his personal archives. It's a neat site http://BRE2.net

Tell us more about Stacey and her Dad's old Morgan...

Tell us more about Stacey and her Dad's old Morgan...

Stacey's Dad is "Super Dave" Bowden. I have raced with him for years in his Morgan. He bought his first Morgan while stationed on a ship of the U.S. Navy, off the coast of England.

You would definitely call Dave a Morgan fanatic. He now races a Royal while handing the wheel of the Morgan over to Stacey. I know he owns at least one street Morgan (maybe two).

Dave has befriended B. S. Levy (author extraordinar). Bert has written of his co-drive experiences with Dave. I have each of Bert's books, his most famous is The Last Open Road. Basically, Bert draws a fictional story around factional events of the early years of road racing.

Same guy. BRE = Brock Racing Enterprises

I should have known that. My passion has always been road racing so I have an excuse (the payment is the fastest way around a track ). :stupid:

I meet Peter by chance. I was going to Road Atlanta to instruct a new driver when I saw Peter's (replica) Coupe parked outside a nearby dealer. I swung in to look, and Peter walked out of the building.

He couldn't have been nicer. We even went to lunch (Wendys ).

I am the guy in the white shirt, Pete in white pants, and two guys I didn't know.

Congradulations, Carl for all the hard work and attention to detail!!

I for one am glad that the optional photo with Carl topless was NOT included in my calendar.

Carl,

Congrats on the calender.

Can't wait to see the car again, next year at Amelia.

I for one am glad that the optional photo with Carl topless was NOT included in my calendar.

gnosez,

The wife :kiss: and I were there that cold windy day. So I have a couple of photos from the shoot that day on my camera. :classic:

I will send you a copy of the topless photos and the bikini photos of Carl laying on the hood.

Just got my December issue of Classic Motorsports and in it a 2009 Classic Motorsports Calender. The January Pin-Up Girl is none other than Carl Beck's Brock Desert Race Car...

I realize it is almost April now, but the Classic Motorsports both had a ton of these calendars at the Amelia Island show and gave me about 20 of them at the end of the day. If anyone wants one I can send it to them for the cost of shipping. I should have asked Carl to autograph all of the January pages first .

-Mike

Mike would love to get a calender and would gladly pay the cost of shipping and living in Florida the would be a good chance I might run in to Mr. Beck at a future event !!! Had the pleasure of seeing the Bre Baja Z last year at Z Week in Daytona Beach Florida !!!!

I should have asked Carl to autograph all of the January pages first .

You should have. You could sell them on eBay for a bunch of money.
