"When Ferdinand &amp;quot;Butzi&amp;quot; Porsche created the first 911 for the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, he had no idea his new sports coupe would have such a long and storied life, with an impressive racing r\u00E9sum\u00E9 sustained by numerous privateer teams such as these.\u2014Joe Rusz   Brumos Racing    If there&amp;#039;s one team that&amp;#039;s synonymous with Porsche racing in America, it&amp;#039;s Brumos Racing. The Jacksonville, Florida-based operation was founded in 1971 by the late Peter H. Gregg, a legendary Porsche racing driver and team owner whose cars won three Daytona 24 Hours and Sebring enduros. A multiple IMSA GT and SCCA Trans-Am winner, Gregg usually partnered with Hurley Haywood in a variety of 911-based race cars including some that challenged the rules. Brumos has always been connected with Weissach, and some of the team&amp;#039;s entries have actually been factory one-offs, carrying the familiar white, red and blue Brumos livery.   Penske Racing    Although the Captain&amp;#039;s involvement with Porsche centers mostly on prototype racing cars such as the legendary 917-10 and 917-30 (developed jointly by the factory and Roger&amp;#039;s driver, the late Mark Donohue) and Porsche&amp;#039;s ALMS-winning RS Spyders, Penske Racing did field an odd 911-based racer or two and introduced the 1974 Carrera RSR to the United States as an IROC racer. Known for its thoroughness and buttoned-down demeanor, Penske Racing serves as an inspiration to racing teams the world over.   Holbert Racing    Inspired by Roger Penske&amp;#039;s racing operation, the late Al Holbert, son of Porsche racer and dealer Bob Holbert, opened his own race shop in 1973, campaigning a variety of 911-based racing cars and 962s. A fierce competitor who often locked horns in battle with the likes of Peter Gregg and other Porsche top dogs, Holbert, who died in the crash of his private plane, spearheaded the Porsche factory&amp;#039;s Indy car effort in the late-&amp;#039;80s.   Vasek Polak Racing    Fielding a flotilla of Porsches of every configuration from his shop in Hermosa Beach, California, the late Vasek Polak, a Czech immigrant and Porsche dealer, supported a cadre of drivers including George Follmer, Milt Minter, Brian Redman and Jody Scheckter, who with the exception of Minter and Follmer, piloted mostly prototypes. Well connected to the Porsche family and to the factory, Polak could be counted on to give American road-racing fans their first glimpse of Zuffenhausen&amp;#039;s latest machinery including the 934, which Follmer used to win Category II of the 1976 SCCA Trans-Am championship.   Martini Racing           Although the name is actually that of the sponsor, throughout the 1970s, the heyday of 911-based racing cars, Martini Racing was actually the Porsche factory&amp;#039;s own team, which wowed the world with creations that won in every GT racing series and in international prototype racing as well. Martini Racing&amp;#039;s prototypes, including a variety of early 911 RSRs, the 934 and 935, heralded the introduction of customer cars based on the factory team&amp;#039;s experimental machines.   Alex Job Racing    A Porsche stalwart since 1988, Alex Job Racing was the first U.S. team to race Porsche&amp;#039;s new 911 GT3 R during the American Le Mans Series&amp;#039; inaugural 1999 season and helped develop Porsche&amp;#039;s sequential racing gearbox used in the RSR. Factory supported, the team won the 2002, 2003 and 2004 ALMS drivers and team championships.   Dick Barbour Racing    An impressive string of victories and multiple championship titles, beginning with an overall win at the 12 Hours of Sebring and an IMSA class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1978, put this 935-based customer team on the Porsche racing map. Returning in 2000 after a 20-year absence from competition, Barbour Racing convincingly won that season&amp;#039;s ALMS GT team and drivers championships with a factory-backed 911 GT3 R.   Flying Lizard    With three drivers championships and two team championship wins in the American Le Mans Series, Seth Neiman&amp;#039;s Sonoma, California-based Flying Lizard racing team has been a force majeure in GT road racing since its inception in 2004. With factory driver Patrick Long among its drivers, this factory-supported effort is one of the most recognizable and respected Porsche teams in modern-day GT road racing.   The Racers Group (TRG)    A relative newcomer to the Porsche racing ranks, TRG, founded by racer-turned-team-owner Kevin Buckler, is a force to be reckoned with in North American GT road racing. Providing services and cars to professionals and fledgling drivers with a yen for road racing, Buckler, the 2003 Rolex 24 at Daytona overall winner, fielded five entries in this year&amp;#039;s twice-&amp;#039;round-the-clock Florida enduro and is Porsche&amp;#039;s best racing car customer.
