[DeTomaso] [TPR] SORC and SSCC Reminder

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Yes, Bjoern is correct.  Although I just checked the rule book and  
there is no published expiration for tires in the Touring class, I  
wouldn't show up with tires having date codes older than five years.   
I personally have been replacing them at three years (but also moved  
to Grand Touring).  I have a practically brand new set of tires I just  
took off in order to put new ones on for last year's race.

When you think about it, Tires could be considered the biggest safety  
item on your Pantera (next to your helmet protecting your head).   
Don't skimp on tires.  A blowout at 110 MPH can be catastrophic.

Oh, and yes, I stand corrected, SA2005 is still accepted for this  
year's race, but the SSCC Board has already let racers know SA2005  
will NOT be allowed next year.  Most racers that have responded to  
that statement have indicated they already replaced their SA2005  
because they like their noggins.  I don't have it handy, but I did  
have a link to a helmet FAQ that had documented evidence of how a  
helmet degrades over time even when no blunt force trauma's have been  
received.  Ergo.... it's good to replace your old helmet.

See you at the race.  :)

>> Hey all,
>> While we wait for more of the professionally produced videos of the  
>> Fun Rally to come out, I'd like to remind folks of the upcoming  
>> Sandhills Open Road Challenge, and Silver State Classic Challenge.
>>
>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ3MGZFYjz8
>>
>> These open road races are a cinch to run in the touring class.  You  
>> need a solid car, good bearings and brakes, no leaks, seat belts  
>> and an SA2010 or newer Automotive helmet (no motorcycle helmets  
>> allowed).  You must have V-rated or better tires (note: SSCC tech  
>> will not pass factory spec speed rating for tires on the Pantera;  
>> yes, that's in contrast to what the rulebook says; long story but  
>> you MUST have V-rated or better).
>>
>> Although Sandhills has already filled up and Team Pantera Racing  
>> expects at least three Panteras to be there, the Silver State  
>> Classic Challenge still has room for plenty more.  Last year we had  
>> three Panteras run SSCC, but even better, Bob "Rowdy" Radefeld from  
>> TPR Central Division managed to get FOUR at SORC.
>>
>> 90 miles of open road with no traffic await you at the Silver State  
>> Classic Challenge.  90 miles at 110 MPH takes about 50 minutes.
>>
>> When was the last time you could run your Pantera at 110 MPH for  
>> darn near an hour?
>>
