  We had a team this even if we had to get a little creative.  We had 3 Panteras, 1 Mangusta and since that was it,I drafted a 64 Lincoln Continental to run as an official member of Team Pantera Racing.  The weather was perfect,the event ran flawlessly, many cars broke but no one was hurt.  So all is good.  We did everything right.  I seemed tohave pissed off several Vette owners. (Some I didn't even know about).  Steve Hawkins almost got in a fight withan oil field roughneck.  Gary & Sylvia ran the Mangusta again!  Will Kooiman told the worst jokes all weekend.  Greatfriends, food, cars & racing.  The team did well....as usual.  I took home 1st place in the 120mph class.  Steve Hawkinsand his brother Cliff took 2nd in the 110mph class.  Gary and Sylvia Barkley took 2nd in the 90mph.  Will Kooiman andhis brother Rodney took home parts of pistons that ended up on top of the intake manifold about 5 miles from the starting line.  We'll have to wait for the autopsy before we determine the cause of death.  I had driven my new Pantera about a mile before the event so I was happy to just finish.  I'm also happy that the car ran right up to 150mph and was still pulling hard.  I also happy that I didn't do that ina radar zone since my tech speed was 140.  Dennis...you're no
longer holder of the fastest Pantera at Big Bend title.  You'll hear more from the other guys I'm sure.  If you weren't
there, you were SO square.
