[DeTomaso] Great Sunday drive video....

Correction.  I don't remember ever doing a drive with a Viper.  I didn't do
all of them, though.

The sport bike had nitrous.  The rider was crazy.  He had pads and leather.
He hit a tight corner over 100mph, couldn't make it, flew off the road, and
rolled through the farmer's field.  I didn¹t see it happen.  It was in front
of me.  I seem to recall that someone saw the bike flipping several times
through the field ­ or something like that.  He caught up to us, and was
mostly okay.  Randy P thought he had a broken collar bone.

We stopped for gas in Conroe.  There was a girl that was all goo-goo over
L's Lambo.  He let her drive it 100 feet.  Then her boyfriend asked if he
could drive it.  L. promptly said, "No!"  It was funny as h_ll.

What does it mean to ³low side² a sport bike?  Lay it down?

All of that happened, but I thought that was on a different drive.

If I remember correctly, on the same Sunday drive the real hooligans low
sided a sport bike, drove a Ferrari Testarosa through a ditch and into a
fence, and blew the engine on a Hennessey 700HP Viper.  Or was that a
different drive??
 
At any rate no Panteras were harmed while making this film.

Just for historical accuracy, here is a pic the camera car. (if the pic
comes through) . The passengers of the camera car were not members. The
speed differentials were greater than they appear as the camera guy zoomed
in on the Panteras as they were pulling away.  Inadvertently, he created the
illusion that they were following close behind.  Or at least I am told by
the hooligans who were present.

Quite by coincidence, A Pantera owner saw the longer version of this guy's
drive at a Lamborghini owner's house and contacted the camera guy to send us
the Pantera portion.  The video was probably an hour long and the Pantera
owner just happened to walk through the room when this footage played.  The
camera guy was nice enough to send us this snippet.
