Reunion of a Car Racing Team in Lafayette

Clive Bush and daughter Jessica Photo C. Tyson

Originally from New Zealand, former racecar driver and Lafayette resident Clive Bush recently held a reunion of the fellows who worked at Lafayette Racing back in the '80s. He and his daughter, Jessica, met up at Millie's Kitchen to demonstrate the handcrafted gifts that Bush made and gave to the team to commemorate their time together, roughly 30 years ago. The race car was photographed on the grass in front of what is now Postino. Clive constructed a collage of racecar photos and repurposed them as the background of a clock that is meant to sit on a base of mounted rear suspension parts. The team members were "absolutely thrilled," according to Bush.

Bush has an extensive background in the automotive field, working with Bruce McLaren back in Napier, New Zealand, as a young man, then Andy Granatelli. But while in Lafayette, he competed in a Conquest BT1 and BMW vehicles at Laguna Seca Raceway, Sears Point, Dallas and Ontario. He participated in Can Am (Canadian American) Challenge Cup races. He's currently retired and working on a device to use airflow to rotate a shaft to compress air or pump water. C. Tyson
