I am in the car biz (BMW) and the "family" owned dealerships are falling away slowly. Dano Davis and family owned Winn Dixie supermarkets, so I am not sure how family it was.

I know Peter Gregg as well as anyone from my days racing in IMSA from 1975 to 1991. He was not the most friendly guy but a good businessman as well as super driver. He was able to buy Brumos from the Brundage family with the help of his first wife - Jennifer Johnson (of Johnson & Johnson family).

I had a 1 year relationship with his widow - Deborah in the mid 80's and she ended up with all the property and dealerships. Although she was in her late 20's, she turned out to be a very astute business women. Hurley and Bob Snodgrass were a big help. She sold out to Davis and did very well.

I helped Jim Bailie, who ran their resto and race team for years get a job there as he and I raced against each other in SCCA as well as he crewed for Phil Conte in IMSA. I know Jim left after Davis came as it was not the same place.

It seems strange that the new owners would forsake the Brumos name, as you would think it was as significant as Vasek Polak and Stoddard.

Sad to see it go.
