'Pizza-Pete' Braillier, owner of Round Table Pizza was a member of Nor-Cal 
Panteras and sponsored our meetings in Menlo Park CA for a while, until 
Nor-Cal decided to move the monthly gatherings to Sunnyvale in late '80. First 
dry-sump Pantera I ever saw. Pete also had a big-block 'Vette roadster he 
raced, and he said I was the only one that ever noticed it had a Pantera 
headrest pad (from the converted Pantera racer) on the driver's door to help brace 
the driver's side in right turns. Al Leist did a great deal of work on 
Pete's car when it was actively competing, and Al stored it at his Menlo Park 
shop for decades. Before your time, Bob, but Diane Dean remembers him well. 
FWIW- J Deryke.
