History
Brad Jones Racing began as a Formula Ford team in which both Brad and Kim raced. Kim stopped racing relatively early, partially in recognition of Brad's ability as a driver with Kim becoming team manager. The team's peak in open wheel racing came in 1981 when running an Elwyn chassis, Brad finished sixth in the national series. The pair faded as the 1980s developed but after a return via Bryan Thomson's Sports Sedan/GT team led to the Jones brothers becoming involved in the Mitsubishi touring car team known occasionally as Mistubishi Ralliart. Racing with Mitsubishi gave Brad several opportunities to race overseas, racing Starion turbo touring cars in Japan and across Asia. Eventually the brothers formed their own team BJ Motorsport to further the Starion touring car operation but by 1986 that was fading and Brad Jones become a hired gun driver for other touring car teams.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
