[DeTomaso] Big Bend Open Road Race

[Asa Jay Laughton]

   Big Bend may be a good race, but I'm not certain it really has anything
   on the Sandhills Open Road Challenge with it's narrow road, grass
   shoulders and no run off room.  There have been Panteras running in
   that event consistently for several years now without fail.  The team
   lineup may vary year to year due to their restricted entry system but
   someone has been there.  Between Bob Radefeld, Bud Hower and Mark
   Skwarek, I think they've done more ORR than the rest of us combined in
   the last five years.  Bud even drove out to SSCC a few years ago, and
   although Mark's new engine wasn't ready, he flew out to spend last
   year's SSCC with the team as well.
   I realize BBORR is far removed from the rest of the country due to the
   shear size of Texas, but it's like you have your own Open Road Race
   right there in your back yard, and there hasn't been a Pantera entered
   in over two years?  I'm sure for you it seems like the best of the
   bunch; it's the only one you've really driven at speed.

   It's been more than 2 years.  My car is going back together and will be
   there in 2015.
   I'd really like to put another group together like we did a few years
   ago.  We had 10
   Panteras and filled a table with really hard to come by trophies.
   I just recently had the chance to see and drive the Sandhills course
   while touring the local
   missile fields... did the Silver State drive not long ago while at
   Nellis.  I'm just glad
   BBORR is only 300 miles from me, it's easily the best road of the
   bunch.  I 'll be there
   again this year with a group of Vettes and this is my 4th year as an
   instructor and
   qualifier for the rookie school.  That's the scary part.
   Hope to see some of you there for the '15 race.
