[DeTomaso] SS Update

[asajay at asajay.com]

I know I have a lot more email to look at yet, but I thought I'd chime  
in here.

Dan may not have been totally prepared when he arrived, but with some  
good advice, and some local support, he was race ready Saturday night  
and they grid him right behind Mad Dog.  After the first few cars came  
in and no Dan in sight, we started asking for a status.  He was okay.   
 From what we gathered, he had started blowing some smoke, like the  
engine grenaded or something.  Later reports were that there was no  
oil on the road.

Dan pulled off a pretty Herculean effort to make the race and he damn  
near made it all the way.  He made it past the dips and past the  
narrows. I'm not sure, but he may have only had less than 10 miles to  
go.

Dan then showed up at the banquet later.  He didn't know what was  
wrong for sure, but he saw his oil pressure dropping and he did the  
smart thing: he shut it down and waited it out.

 From all outward appearances, Dan should have made it.  I'm  
interested to see what he finds out in the post-mortem.
