Renngruppe Rendezvous<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Louis Scalzo | Photos by Tom Morgan<\/p>\n

Renngruppe Motorsports is located in Lexington, North Carolina in a industrial park area looking like a very ordinary brick fronted metal building, blending in with all the others in the area. When you enter the spacious facility, formerly home of a NASCAR team, you quickly realize that this place is anything but ordinary! It can only be described as a Porsche Mecca, or Holy Land of sorts. As you enter the large shop area, instantly you see magnificent, historic Porsche race cars of all eras that you would only see normally in a book or on a computer screen. It\u2019s visually stunning for sure. The bright white walls are adorned with pictures of racing Porsches and posters from events from all over the world and the floors are painted a sterile gray. There are two engine rooms off to the right of the main gallery, and I can only describe this place as hospital clean and very professional.<\/p>\n

RennGruppe Motorsports owner Dave Brown insists on keeping this shop this way and instructs his crew to do so as well, \u201cI look at it as a honor to have these cars here to work on, and I insist on cleanliness here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently parked in the building where two Coca-Cola Porsche 962s, one of which was an overall Sebring winner in 1985, a Porsche 908, Porsche Carrera 906, an original 1973 Porsche 911 RSR IROC driven by Emerson Fittipaldi, and three Porsche 935s – JLP 2, Desperado, and Bob Akin\u2019s Coca-Cola-sponsored 935. There are also three early 911s, one being Al Holbert’s personal car.<\/p>\n

Also present were two of the McLaren-powered Greenwood Corvettes from the mid-70s. One of these is undergoing a full restoration to be completed and delivered for the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed. One of the engine rooms had a nearly finished original 1974 RSR 3.0 motor, and there were various race engines in different states of overhaul.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh performance engine building is really my specialty and what I enjoy doing more than anything. My first engine build was a Bug Eye Sprite when I was 14 1\/2 years old, and I\u2019ve been doing this ever since,\u201d said Dave Brown. He realized early on that he had a natural mechanical ability, much of which was self-taught, and the skill to get the best performance with limited resources. Dave then went on to elaborate a little further, \u201cSince the early eighties I have worked on many different race teams, many on very tight privateer budgets, but competing with large budget factory teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, it was a real challenge being the \u2018underdog,\u2019 so I would try to be very resourceful when finding horsepower, and enjoyed the challenge. The ’90s where a fun time, the rules formula was way more flexible back then. We would compete against the factory teams using the 3.8 liter motors (such as Alex Job) and they were more restricted. We would use 3.6 rules that had more flexibility, such as a lighter minimum car weight of 2252 lbs and more tube framing for the chassis, 16\u201d tires, but the fun part was engine mods- we could do pretty much anything with the 3.6 block.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave did just that – he showed me an engine that had been radically modified using spacers under the cylinder barrels and cam housings so that they could go to a shorter stroke and Chevy NASCAR rods. This created higher rpms and gained horsepower, with a 103.6mm bore and a 70.00mm stroke. \u201cThe other teams really looked at that engine, but couldn\u2019t put a finger on what was different. It was actually wider by an inch or so. There was a lot of satisfaction being able to sometime beat the big guys – and we did.\u201d Over the years Dave has built over 770 full race engines. \u201cIn 2000 the factory went to the factory sealed \u2018water\u2019 cars and the rules changed with Grand-Am. We couldn\u2019t build and modify engines anymore, so the game was over.\u201d<\/p>\n

The thing I noticed about Dave he is really an enthusiast about what he does for a living, and has a total passion for it. It really shows. I was at his shop for 5 1\/2 hours, and he spent the entire time with me talking about Porsche and all the cars he has worked on. I\u2019m sure we could have talked for another five hours. Time just flew by. \u201cI love getting up and going to work every day, and can\u2019t wait to work on a car or engine project.\u201d But Dave is also very humble about his accomplishments, he didn\u2019t want me to write this article about him, but about the cars and the shop. But I told him I had to share a little bit on his background with the club, and how he got to where he is today – I apologize Dave.<\/p>\n

It all started down in Sarasota, Florida. \u201cI lived there for 6 1\/2 years as a kid. My Dad had a metal fabrication shop and worked on privateer\u2019s race cars, sometimes building roll cages and exhaust systems, mostly on English cars. \u201cMy Dad took me to the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1971 as spectators in our 1963 Country Squire station wagon. I was really impressed the way Mario Andretti, who was down by many laps, caught up with Steve McQueen at the final lap to win. I was hooked right then and there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave\u2019s family then moved to North Carolina in 1972, \u201cDad wanted to get away from the Florida heat and worked at Florida Steel on Highway 21 near Huntersville. As a teenager, he worked at Stowe\u2019s Exxon in Davidson and attended North Mecklenberg High School. \u201cThe Exxon had some drag cars, but I really wanted to wrench on Porsches.\u201d Dave attended Florida State and graduated in 1980.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would try and attend as many races as possible back then, Daytona 24 Hour, the Paul Revere, Sebring 12 Hours, to name a few. I would always end up in the garage area observing the crews and see what was going on. I knew what I wanted to do, I just had to figure out how to get a steady paycheck out of it.\u201d That turned out to be somewhat difficult at times. \u201cIn the early days sometimes I had to call Dad to help pay the electric bills.\u201d Dave started by working for several privateers who did just a few races a year. Most didn\u2019t run the full season, so Dave\u2019s work would last sometimes only several weeks at a time. In the mid-80s Dave found steady work for a couple years full time with the Firehawk Series \u2013 \u201cJim Hicks (retired NFL) was the team owner, and we ran a couple Porsche 944 S2 cars. It was worth moving to Atlanta for that, a good experience and a steady paycheck.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the late ’80s Dave worked for Tom Gloy who ran a Riley & Scott-built GTO Mustang, and also worked on some IMSA privateer teams, like Dauer from Germany who ran a limited schedule with a couple 962C models. Former F1 racer Thierry Boutsen was one of the team\u2019s drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got married in 1990 to Lisa, and am still married to same wonderful woman for the last 21 years, but needed to find employment were I wasn\u2019t traveling so much.\u201d So Dave went to work for Penske racing in Mooresville, North Carolina in 1991. \u201cI worked in the engine shop as a cylinder head specialist doing NASCAR stuff. We worked seven days a week, but after a few years was pretty bored with it and wanted to get back to sports cars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1994, I started a shop in Mooresville (NC) on Hwy 150,\u201d Dave continued, \u201cI shared space in the center building with Greg Clark who was running a NASCAR Busch Series team with Stanley Tool sponsorship. We both shared the lease and Ralph Brawley was the property owner. In 1995 the Busch team lost its sponsorship and I took over the lease for the whole building starting Brown & Slayton for Drew Slayton, who was a former crew chief with many big teams including Interscope and the Whittington brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stayed there until December 1999 and moved once again to a larger facility in the Mooresville Motorsport Park which was the ex-Rahal\/Gloy Icehouse Craftsmen truck facility. That shop became Carolina Speedwerks, where we had the opportunity to prepare an AGT Camaro for the 2000 24 Hours of Daytona. The car was based on a Benco full tube frame chassis with a 366 cubic inch Chevy NASCAR type engine, but I decided to change the front end. We were able to build and race this car in less than two months at Daytona because we had a lot of experienced guys in the shop, including Tim Cowell, formerly with Rousch Racing. For qualifying I used 1.75 lift rockers, but for the race went to a 1.5 lift rocker for durability. This car had about 700 hp, and did very well. Well enough to take 1st place in the AGT class, a major accomplishment for all involved indeed. We ran the entire season, finishing second, only losing it on the last race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave continued to campaign the car. \u201cIn 2001 we ran the Camaro once more, but on a limited race schedule with Andy McNeal driving. But in 2002 we did not race on a National level; we did mostly HSR and PCA club race events, maintaining club cars.<\/p>\n

\"Coca-Cola<\/a>
This Porsche 935 K3 was one of three K3 935s owned by Racing Associates consisting of Charles Mendez, Bob Akin and Roy Woods. It started life as a factory 934 raced by George Loos, and had a long distinguished career including wins at Nurburgring and Daytona.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The year 2003 brought another shop move up to Thomasville (NC) and a name change to Speedwerks. \u201cWhile at Speedwerks, we built a 3.6 twin turbo 914 for driver Andy McNeal. We raced this car for a number of years, developing and refining it along the way. The 914 was putting out approximately 800 peak horse power. We had a lot of success with this car with a 110 class wins and 55 overall wins. We once almost beat a 962, owned and driven by Don Style, only losing by a few car lengths.\u201d In 2006 Speedwerks built a Mazda to race in the Grand-Am series. This RX-8 was unique to the other Riley-built Mazdas in the field in that Dave\u2019s design incorporated a Porsche torque tube from a 944. \u201cThe first year we brought it to Daytona and went through tech inspection, we had a lot of strange looks and questions from the officials, but it\u2019s totally legal and runs competitively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave moved once more to his current location in Lexington in 2009, now named RennGruppe Motorsports, maintaining many Porsche Club of America (PCA) club race cars and two race car collections with some seriously nice cars in them. RennGruppe is currently developing a VW GTI race car for a new support series, building a radical 1953 Bent window 356 with a multi-link suspension and 3.6 engine, and is continuing what Dave likes best – engine building – getting historic engines shipped from all over the world for him to rebuild. \u201cThe only one I haven\u2019t done yet is the 12-cylinder 917 engine. Yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave says from a mechanic’s perspective, \u201cThe opportunity to work on what many consider the best there is \u2013 Porsche. Well-built, proper, done correctly, the highest quality and standards. What also makes what I do so great are really the people in the PCA, with the same interest in these great cars that I have, many of the same customers have been coming back since 1994.\u201d<\/p>\n
