Mass Racing Developments and Conoley & Co are one and the same. It might be easier to delete one or the other, but because for historic reasons some customers feel happier aligned to one or the other, we maintain both names.
Like most companies, we have evolved over time and the present group is a partnership led by Chris Conoley.
Some of us have seen long service in Motorsport and others are starting on the dubious journey.
Chris Conoley:
Chris started out as an electronics engineer in the Ministry of Technology, but always felt more comfortable with mechanical engineering. Competition engineering soon became a passion which remains to this day.
40 years as an amateur race driver in most types of car means that Chris understands what a driver needs from his engine!
John Wright:
From farming family originally, has been involved with motor sport since 1972. What started as a part time interest developed into a full time career, working in America and the UK. John came to MASS via Cosworth and was particularly attracted by the diverse nature of the MASS workload which he feels keep everyone on their toes.
Stuart Delf:
His motorsport life began at the age of sixteen, competing on Road Rallies and a year later on Stage Rallies. After building several rally cars Stuart felt he would like to persue a career in motorsport and joined MASS Racing in 2001 as an engine builder.
Jane Bourne:
Became drawn into motor sport, working alongside
John and Angela Webb at Brands Hatch Circuit in the late 1980's.
A successful foray into Historic Rallying as co-driver followed
whilst working with Brands Hatch Morgans and then Brown &
Gammons. She has worked with Mass Racing since 1996, so is well
qualified to hold the administrative reins.
Peter Darlow:
What he can’t make isn’t worth making!
An extremely competent machinist and design engineer, Pete ‘drives’
the machine shop tools, including full CNC, with consummate ease.
The diversity of the work at MASS fuels his interest and tests
his ingenuity and skill. Projects have included design and production
of a fuel injection system for a Lycoming (aircraft) engine, together
with innovative problem solving modifications on some of the more
obscure engines.
