[DeTomaso] Who is going to be at WOT long enoughto needFancySchmantzy Race Oil? 6- PANTERA OIL

[asajay at asajay.com]

Thanks Tom,

My plan was to just into the triple digits, nothing fancy for a first  
time, 100-115 probably.

Yes, I do understand about safety equipment and I try to check up on  
the requirements every now and then.  I also try to keep them updated  
on the TPR website.  :)
