[DeTomaso] NORC Report: Past the Finish Line

[Matt]

Congratulations Mad Dog (and Vikes) on a what sounds like a seriously good time had by all,on and off the track.

Now what I want to know is any video forthcoming of the "Flying Phoenix" on the course?
Don't tell me you cheeped out and didn't have in-car camera rolling...
Don't make me have to come down there myself and film Asa Jay flying down 318 in your car come September!

Nice job TPR!
Matt

And I don't want to hear another slacker call to arms until I get an in-car video!!! ;-)

MKM Racing (bonneville 100 and Pony Express) have a 'Hand Timers Award' for guys still using stop watches?with no GPS. 

Personally I don't even pay attention to anything but course conditions and engine?vitals (oil, fuel,?and water pressures & temp)....I might glance at Tach but I just listen to?the sweet music of how everything sounds at WOT.

The biggest compliment you can get is to?have 'course workers' come up to you at any open track or open road race after you have blown by them?and have them tell you that your Pantera sounded better then any car in the competition.....thats a beautiful thing...Will is right on.

Again, gotta give thanks to the?'vendors' who are also my friends?who made it all happen....Russ Fulps for engine,?Dick Drenske for cooling, chassis and suspension and general wrenching, Mike Trusty for fuel injection, and Richard Clewett for tuning.
