That is great news for Porsche/Brumos fans. Very happy to see Leh back in a Porsche.

The BIG question is whether GA will allow the Porsches to be competitive against their #1 sponsor's cars, i.e. Mazdas. To my eyes the writing was on the walls prior to the start of the season that Mazda would win and Porsche would be severely disabled. We shall see.

I think the Porsche can win, in proper hands, with the 3.8 motor. Exciting for sure.

This is awesome. Heck of a driver line up. Looks like a single car effort. No mention of bringing back the #58.

Agreed. Looking forward to some good battles between Leh and Andy Lally.

I too hope the Porsches can be competitive against the tube frame cars.

Perhaps a run of Rennlist/Brumos/Leh Keen t-shirts?

So David Donohue isn't a Brumos driver anymore? From the comments at the end of the Series, they seemed to be making some changes but nothing this drastic... Wonder if money played a big factor?

I was unclear on that as well. Are they going to Action Express to run with their DP team? I would imagine that both will be driving next year...

Leh that makes sense. I guess if anyone would know you would. Good luck at the 24.

Action Express owns the old Brumos 58 car that won the 24 hrs last year. Now they have both cars. I think they basically consolidated Action Express into the old Charlotte Brumos Shop. They should do some good stuff, now that they have 2 cars to work with.

Leh, let us locals know when you guys will be having a reception or whatever. I and a number of friends will certainly come out for it!
Congrats on the new ride. Just standing in front of their trophy case is awe inspiring. I can't imagine how excited you must be to be onboard!
We'll see you at the races with the rest of the Brumos Boosters!
