Thanks to everyone who wrote on Juniors contact information...As usual, Mikey beat everyone else to the punch...thanks again Mike ;-]>
   
  I had a long discussion with our friend Junior this afternoon about ORR, wot he's up to as well as open track and hill climb experiences. If you didn't know already Junior sold his race dedicated Pantera through a broker to a client in the U.K. and whoever that was also wanted and got ALL of Junior's trophies...obviously a serious UK collector.
   
  Between film coming from Junior, Larry "Rockhouse" Stock and several others we are going to end up with some great video for Larry Kelsey to review/edit....We STILL need more video of you guys wrenching on your De Tomaso Pantera's and Mangusta's...also going to add some video of some of the competition too...
   
  One of Richard Hille's blind Braille run at 200+ mph when his oil line to his mechanical gauge came lose at speed in a sweeper turn at Silver State and instantly filled the cockpit of his car with dense whhite smoke where he went from full to zero visability in 1 second but somehow was still able to stop the car without ever leaving the road course at Silver State...
   
  Another one of JR Gottlieb's "Big Red" at speed, another one of a blower lid blowing off a Vette right after the owner started his engine...when it blew off it flew by his head! Will work to get some more ORR and TPR misadventures from some of the other old vintage race cars that don't even race any more but the goal is to highlight De Tomaso and TPR automobiles and owners and their navigator/teams.
   
  Still looking for any video of YOU and/o your buddies wrenching on your Pantera or Mangusta...does not have to be an ORR event....anything at your shop or garage or tech.
  But we do need 'original VHS or hi-res DVD....Everything we get will be returned to you after Larry kelsey is done editing, you will also get credits and a free DVD. If we don't have enough interesting video and stills by next month we may wait until first ORR's take place in Nevada and Texas in April and May.
   
  Mike Trusty told me my IR-EFI is in the mail so I should have some video of Dick installing and me supervising installation in my Pantera in another week or so. 180 headers ceremic coated inside and out...all plumbing and most of the electrical mods all done as well.
   
  Good Times
