Catching his first glimpse of a Porsche at Watkins Glen in 1950 changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs he became one of American’s first Volkswagen franchisees, Brundage pitched himself into a battle to cleave a Porsche distributorship away from the legendary Max Hoffman. Merging his interests in motorsports and business — Brundage was a motivating force behind Formula Vee and ran cars for Bob Holbert and Roger Penske — Hubert was building Brumos into a major corporation when he died unexpectedly in late 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Brundage’s passing, a portion of his empire was purchased by Johnny von Neumann, who sold the Brumos Porsche dealership to aspiring racer Peter Gregg. Though it meant the end of one era, it also marked the dawn of Gregg era and a level of prominence that took Brumos to the top of the racing world. By end of Volume I, Gregg discovered the prodigious driving talent named Hurley Haywood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9381\/2135\/products\/BRUMOSBOOK-VOL2_7ff6735d-9be6-4fb9-b4dc-965c3565c479_480x480.jpg?v=1620845297\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVolume II\u003c\/span\u003e of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrumos: An American Racing Icon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e describes the explosive 1970s when Peter Gregg, Hurley Haywood, Jack Atkinson, and Porsche owned American GT racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1970, Gregg had established himself as a strong journeyman racer, capable of winning the small-bore classes. Then he and Hurley Haywood took back-to-back victories in the 1973 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Both drivers – sometimes co-driving and sometimes racing against each other – established dominant reputations for the rest of the decade. Gregg practically owned the IMSA GT and SCCA Trans-Am series. Haywood raced strongly in the mighty Can-Am, took the first of his three Le Mans wins, and drove to victories for several teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing into 1980, it seemed as if the team’s winning ways would continue forever. But when Porsche shifted its focus to the 924 platform and the upcoming Group C and GTP categories, Peter Gregg was left to contemplate a different future. By the end of the year, a debilitating head injury contributed to his tragic demise and left the future of Brumos up for speculation.\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9381\/2135\/products\/BRUMOSBOOK-VOL3_f7507e60-664a-4895-bb5e-e1530c9180a1_480x480.jpg?v=1620845297\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVolume III\u003c\/span\u003e of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrumos: An American Racing Icon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e examines the challenges and victories of Brumos in the post-Peter Gregg era, from early 1981 until 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1980s were a decade of transformation for Brumos as it redefined itself after the glory years of the 1970s.

During the same period, Snodgrass founded the Brumos Driving Academy and the Brumos vintage-\u003cbr\u003eracing program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDan Davis took ownership of Brumos in 1990 and Brumos returned to professional racing and took several more GT championships.
