I went to the Wine Country Classic this weekend with
several Pantera club members.  We had three Pantera
Members racing other cars in this great event.
Carl Stein with his early Trans Am Mustang racing with
the likes of Vic Edelbrock (70 boss) and Craig Jackson 
(70 Cuda).  We also had Rick Cannon running one of his
homemade cars with a V-8 sort of an Old Yeller (he has several)
and finally Todd Glyer running his new to him Can Am Lola.  I was helping
flunky- torquing wheels, filling gas and whatever.  It was Todd's
first event and second time in the car.... he did quite well and
was learning the car quickly.. One of the other veterans in the
class came over the second day and told him he was way
too fast for his first time.  My moment was when I got to go
to the grid with the team and watch all the Can Am cars 
grid and finally leave one by one... these are cars that as
a kid I watched several times a Laguna.  From six hundred
to a few with 1,000 hp with pipes pointed straight back at you
is a real treat.
 
Now back to the real world of work and pulling the
motor on the broken Pantera
