Brumos Collection
The pre race festivities at this weekend’s Rolex 24 at Daytona will include six historic Brumos Porsches and Brumos founder Dano Davis has been named honorary starter for the historic race. The green flag flies at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday, January 30th.
Brumos is calling the collection 59 For The 59th since it’s the 59th Rolex and many of Brumos’ racecars carried No. 59 over the years.
A lifelong motorsports enthusiast, Davis partnered with Bob Snodgrass and purschased Brumos in 1990. They led the team to three IMSA Bridgestone Supercar Championships from 1991 to 1993. Brumos got out of full-time racing but returned in 2003, competing in the Grand Am Daytona Prototype class. Brumos finished first and third in the 2009 Rolex. Two years later, Brumos returned to its roots, competing in the GT class and won the GT championship.
On a typical day, Kris “Special K” Uhlhorn, AKA the Bongfather, can be seen on IGTV vibing out to classic tunes, wearing Seattle Seahawks gear, and blowing a piece of glass on a stick, manipulating it with various tools before rotating it into a hot kiln. Oftentimes the process for a particular bong is so complex it requires assistance from two or three people. Uhlhorn started his business Special K Glass in Seattle in 1998, but moved back to his hometown of Eugene in 2005 to raise his two small children. Over the last couple decades, he’s built a cult-like following for his stylish, new age glass pieces that can be found in smoke shops and pipe retailers all over Oregon, as well as on the Special K website.
