I was at Laguna Sega for the Historics in August and the Cobra race was truly unbelievable with 49 vehicles racing and althought i didn't see the Daytona coupe crash i did see it been towed back to the pits, quite a shame but though my US contacts they said the owner wasn't too concerned and as its only metal it can be fixed!! i guess also, he can probably afford it.

This years Monterey Historics was the best one yet, largest crowd(i got told) since 92, walkin tickets got sold out by midday saturday!! certainly people everywhere!! and one fantastic event.

Brilliant! Thanks Bry. One of the Daytona Cobra coupes had a big shunt in a US vintage racing event recently. Was it this same car?

My camera did not have the best zoom, but here is Wal driving Jay's Chinook and fellow Kiwi Roger Wills in his McLaren M1b on the victory lap. Out of shot was Whitsun trophy winner Gary Pearson in the ex Jim Boyd Cambridge Cigarette livered Lola T-70.
Having the top 3 cars of that race, each having a NZ connection was awesome to see on the other side of the world.


Mark, brilliant photo!

Thanks for that Roger. I have just visited the site. I had no idea of their history - nice story.

You can build these J40s from scratch with all parts available : http://www.j40.co.uk/index.html

The challenge now is to find a few of these. Whoops their value might have just gone up.

Heres one I took a couple of photos of last year. The guy that owned it ended up getting it for free, from memory, many years ago. It was missing several parts, so he fitted vintage go-kart parts instead.

Some of us are old enough to remember these! Also the similar ones carted round to schools for road traffic training, I know for absolute sure that some of us learned that Stop signs were hrd to achieve if you are trying!
Oh the dear old J40.

Made very well out of 'pressed steel' components I am sure that they would have been quite expensive back when they were new. The drivers got quite willing with a few incidents at the Chicane, and what added to the spectacle was that under the car you could see the speed at which small legs were pedaling.

As far as I understand these were all restored originals. I spoke to many 'older' people who were there who said that they were very popular when they were 'kids'. Following the popularity at Goodwood I am sure it won't be long before they are recreated. Maybe someone here in New Zealand recalls them being sold new here.

The pedal cars were a great addition. Do they still make these or were they originals that had been restored?

And there is always the theater in the back gound. A couple of Rollers lurk in the desert.
