> We had an excellent Italian Concours here in the Northwest yesterday. 
> About
> 175 cars in all, with 5 Panteras.  The lime green pushbutton, chassis 1294
> belonging to PNW member Alvin Bloomberg, has run Bonneville 5 times, and
> currently holds the D/GT record at just under 210 mph.  First place in
> DeTomaso was taken by Mike Reilly in his beautiful red '74 #7366, one of 
> the
> last 10 cars to be brought in by Ford, and still very close to original
> appearance.  Second in DeTomaso went to yours truly, Mike Thomas, and 
> third
> in Detomaso to Alvin in his green pushbutton.  Alvin also won second in 
> the
> Competition Class to a Ferrari 308 which just last week ran 298+ MPH. 
> They
> would have hit 310, but 200 yards before the final traps, the 2500 hp
> massively boosted Ferrari motor blew the bottom end all over the salt.
>
> Most all makes were represented with Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati,
> DeTomaso, Lancia, Alfa, Fiat and numerous Italian motor bikes.
>
> It was a beautiful day with a lot of incredible cars.  Enjoy!
