[DeTomaso] Team Pantera Racing Awards for 2011

[Asa Jay Laughton]

It's that time of year again.  The open road race season has ended, Team 
Pantera Racing has submitted nominations for award recipients, and the 
results have been finalized and the awards have been presented.

So it is with -great- pleasure I announce the following 2011 Team 
Pantera Racing Awards:

For enduring years of berating from TPR President and sometimes member 
at larger Dennis "Mad Dawg" Antenucci, overcoming last minute mechanical 
problems, successfully arriving, running the Silver State Classic 
Challenge and making it back home with his Pantera in one piece, the 
2011 Ellis Woumnm Iron Man Award was proudly presented to John "JB" Bentley.

For coming together over great distances and co-driving a Pantera in 
both the One-mile Shootout and the open road race portion of the 
Sandhills Open Road Challenge, each one driving one pass of the shootout 
and one leg of the open road race, the 2011 Gary Hall Memorial Award was 
proudly presented to two recipients this year, Mark "The Professor" 
Skwarek and Jim "Batman" Wallace.  You can see video of their exploits 
on the TPR web site.  An in-depth article will be forthcoming.

For unwavering personal support of Team Pantera Racing both in spirit 
and in person, David "The Pope" Adin received the 2011 SOBill Award.

Please join me in congratulating these fine individuals who are 
upholding the spirit embodied in those words from Tony Harvey many of us 
will never forget:  Use your car for what it was meant...  DRIVE IT!

Official photos from the ceremony will be posted later on the Team 
Pantera Racing web site.
