Rennsport Reunion 2001 Photos by CKnet

Below are a collection of photos from the first Rennsport Reunion held in 2001 at Lime Rock. It was an unprecedented gathering of Porsche cars... so good they repeated it in 2004 !

917/30 5.4Litre Sunoco Cars !!!
Chassis 917/30-002 Porsche Museum

& Chassis 917/30-004 Matt Drendle

Can you believe this photo, this is 2 of the awesome 917/30 cars that dominated Can Am in the early '70s. One of the drivers is Roger Penske who ran the Porsche Can Am team when Mark Donahue won the championship. This was apparently the first time Roger had ever driven 917/30 !!

Thanks to Bill Gregory for the photo.

917/30-002 5.4Litre Sunoco Car

Porsche Museum

A fantastic photo of one of the awesome 917/30 seen at Rennsport 2001. You can tell it is the museum car by the fact that it doesn't have a race number.

917/10 (Chassis 917/10-007) 5.0 Litre from 1972.

Owned by Brumos

The 917/10 was an awesome car that was very effective in the Can Am championship in the 1970s. This car was originally raced by Brumos when new, and then sold to Vasek Polak. Brumos re-purchased the car in the mid-90's.

Thanks to Bill Gregory for the photo.

917K (Chassis 917-021) Martini "Hippy" car.

Owned by Don Marsh

This car was purchased by Don Marsh when it came up for sale in the mid 1990's. Apparently the paint scheme was hated at the Porsche factory when it was first raced !!

Thanks to Bill Gregory for the photo.

917 K (Chassis 917-018).

Owned by Chuck Stoddard

This photo clearly shows how compact the 917 really is - about half the height of a 911, the same length but at least twice the power !! This car was raced by Alex Soler Roig in the 1970s.

Thanks to Joe for the photo.
