[DeTomaso] Mad Dawg on track in Reno?

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Always ready to choke on  a little humble pie. ;-]> 

I'll be the first to admit getting black flaged for going to slow in Gray's Pantera is bad....but then it IS Gray's Pantera. The same friend who when I was rebuilding the Pantera after the fire invited me out to Houston to see what parts I needed for the rebuild....many others contributed and helped too but Gray was the bro' who said "take what you need in the shop Dawg and I'll have my ranchhand send the parts to you"......and he did...even after I got blackflagged!  

Now if it had been Mikey's Pantera I had been driving it would have been entirely different story! ;-]>

I don't know if anyone is aware of it... or maybe forgotten? It was a 'long
time ago'... when men were men and... whatever.

But the Dawg has had his car on a real racetrack. Texas World Speedway.
Three times he's been there... once without his car though...

OK, some said he drove like Grandma....
