[DeTomaso] ADA Pantera comeback

[Mike Drew]

Congratulations Patrick! I know it’s been a long and difficult journey but I’m glad the car is finally back on track at last!

The race season is rapidly drawing to a close. Do you have any events planned for 2021? Or will we have to wait until next year to see it in action?
