This 1957 Porsche Speedster was purchased from the original owner by Dr. Chuck Renn in 1968. After enjoying his Speedster as a street car for approximately 16 years. in 1983 Dr. Renn began the transformation of his Speedster to race trim. From 1985 to 1995 Dr. Renn campaigned his Speedster at numerous venues throughout California. He competed at Laguna Seca. Riverside Raceway. Willow Springs. Sears Point. Palm Springs Grand Prix and Stardust. His favorite venue was the Monterey Historics where he competed for 9 consecutive years (Includes Two Log Books). For medical reasons. Dr. Renn retired from racing at the end of the 1995 race season and passed away in 2002. Prior to entering road racing in 1985. D. Renn successfully competed in off road racing during the 1960's. In 1968 he finished 4th place in the Baja 1000 Class 6 and 5th place in the Baja 1000 Class 6 the following year. Being a Dentist by profession. Dr. Renn decided it would be fitting to establish the Mouth Racing Team in 1967 prior to entering off-road racing.
