And -that- is where you hit the nail on the head my friend.  This event 
is anything -but- motorsport.  It's an opportunity to "show off" a 
financial and celebrity status most will never achieve.  Somebody is 
making money on this, but who?  A $40K entry fee?  Give me a break, 
that's insane and why would anyone pay for it?

It's really an exercise in excess, one expensive party week with driving 
in between.

It was great a Pantera entered last year here in the United States and 
Bob Levitt got to rub elbows with some of those other folks.  But I 
think Bob may have been one of the only folks to really take the thing 
seriously, got help from a lot of other Pantera owners along the way, 
had a great time and represented the Pantera pretty well.

The story is he even finished first, but did he receive any accolades 
for it?
