[DeTomaso] Vegas track time

[Bob]

Very well run event.  Long day on Saturday.   Great people and really tough completion. Many purpose built cars.   I was thinking of running in Vegas but trying to get my other car (firebird ) ready for the season
A well prepped Pantera could do well
Tires are a key.  You need the best 200 rated tires which are really like a Dot road race tire. Brakes are critical for the stop box.  My Pantera was 12 th in that sector 3 years back at the Sema final
Will be to another soon. 
Second best event I have done
Virginia City Hillclimb is the best ever

   Very well run event.  Long day on Saturday.   Great people and really
   tough completion. Many purpose built cars.   I was thinking of running
   in Vegas but trying to get my other car (firebird ) ready for the

   I've been trying to convince Ron that we need to build something for
   that event.

     If you really want to run your car in Vegas you can enter the
     Optima Ultimate Street car qualifier.. it is April 15-17
     For $750 you can run as many stop boxes you can on
     half of Saturday -15-20 if you hurry.. then go over to the autocross
     track and run that for another 15-20 times.. go on a cruise that
     evening to show the car is street worthy .. then on Sunday run the
     track in 3-4 sessions... lots of time to beat on that Pantera
     testing brakes, clutch and tires to the limit
     And my comment on the proper use of the back screen is
     to run your 4" straight 180 headers thru it.. then there will
     be a lot of flow going outward only... trust me:)
