[DeTomaso] Sad day in Holland...:<(

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

Over the weekend, there was a sprint run called the Brouwers Boulevard 
Sprint in the town of Deventer, in Holland. 

A driver in a race-prepared Pantera wiped out just after the start.   (The 
car in question was Bud Greene's beautifully-prepared car, later owned by 
Matt Merritt, and still wearing the "Hollywood Panteras" windshield banner).

Five people were injured, and one of the course marshals was killed. :<(

Here's video of the start; the crash takes place out of view at the end of 
the straight:

I feel terrible for all concerned.   Do we know the current owner/driver of 
this car?   

The event was organized by a fellow named Bert van den Dool, and he was one 
of those injured.
