[DeTomaso] RENO Fernley Track Event was great

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Home Dog,

Proud of you son.....And please don't rub it in by telling me and others that getting there and home again was half the fun. I had more fun at my sons college graduation (yea sure).

This mea culpa is doubly painful as my amputated Bushido little finger continues to bleed out on the keyboard. 

P.S.  Redemption Suggestion (aka; Get out of Purgatory card).....Since the Silver State ORR is just 3+ months away I am hoping some of the 500+ West of the Missippi SLACKERS will find their nutsack or ovaries by representing they're (or is it 'their'?) peeps in Ely Nevada in September. 
 
Unfortunately due to my most recent pinky finger loss, advanced age and inability to pass a medical exam (eyesight, hearing & E.D. challenges)  I ain't gonna make Silver State in Sept.
 
Congtrat's again to everyone (espially Hp challenged Mikey) who drove to Reno and ran the track. and then drove home again.  
 
You guys are my heros....unless you have piercings, voted for Obama or you have tats or are younger then 65 ;-]>

Subject: [DeTomaso] RENO Fernley Track Event was great

For those of you who missed the Track Day in Fernley during the Reno Fun
Rally, I HIGHLY recommend you try it the next time it happens.  This was
just too much fun!

At the very least you should give the $20 (read cheap) noon-time
drive-through a try.  This was a near half hour of being able to drive your
car through the track at a much faster pace than expected.

The newbie price of only $125 per day for Group C entrants was a steal.
This was my first time at a track event, so I don't have a reference for
comparison, but it sure seemed to me that Larry Finch, Mike Drew, Mark
McWhinney, the instructors and corner workers did a fantastic job of
managing the event (apologies if I left any names out).

I drove my Pantera from the Seattle area, down to Reno, ran it at the track
and drove it home (about 1800 total miles).  So to borrow a term from Mad
Dog, I'm calling all you who brought your car to the Fun Rally, but didn't
run it at the track, SLACKERS.
