[DeTomaso] Loading and getting ready to head out....

Sat Oct 23 18:34:03 EDT 2021

Well, the Pantera is finished, polished, and ready to go to Daytona.  The
Panoz is likewise heading into the trailer as this posts.

If you listen near the end, you can hear me say "that is my most valuable
racecar" -- which, while subject to debate among the team members, is truly
how I feel.  I am really proud to race it.

Thanks, Mike Finnegan, for the video!

As always, we also want to thank everyone on this forum that so quickly
responds with answers to our surprisingly still naive questions.  The
amount of knowledge available here is amazing.  It makes owning a Pantera
"reasonably" painless 😋  If any of the Pantera crowd is in Daytona next
week - please feel free to stop by.  We will be parked out by the lake with
our big rig and tent.

I will try to keep everyone posted as best I can this weekend.  In the
meantime, here is the link to the event:

   - https://hsrrace.com/2021_events/2021-classic-daytona-daytona-historics/

I have attached the official schedule.  The Pantera is running in the HSR
sprint races in Group 5, subclass F3 (FIA Group 3), of which I think we are
the only one:

   - Group 5: Historic Big-Bore Production.  Production sports & GT cars
   1960-1974. Examples:  GT350, Cobra, Camaro, Boss 302, Corvette C2/3),
   Jaguar XKE, Porsche 911 RS, RSR,  Street Stock A, etc.  (treaded tires).
   Certain similar sports racers included on a case-by-case basis.

So far, the Pantera's competition includes mostly Porsche 911 RSR models
from 69-74.

The Panoz Esperante GT2 is racing in the Classic 24, Group F (Modern
Prototype/GT era:  ‘00 – ‘18).  We are in class F3 for (FIA/IMSA/GrandAm
GT1/GT2/GS3).    The main competition for the Pantera is ex-Grand AM
Porsche 997 GT3 Cup, BMW M3, and Corvette C5 race cars.

Theoretically, we have 4 sessions per day, 2 each for each car, and the
final Pantera race is Saturday morning, before the start of the 24-hour
race.  Tony and I will be alternating in both cars all weekend so that we
both get to drive both cars.   If all goes well, the Pantera is NOT running
the 24-hour race this year.  However, if the Panoz takes a crap before the
24-hour starts, and the Pantera is still alive and running, we may end up
running the Pantera in the 24-hour.

Just the HSR Sprint event, alone, has nearly four hours of practice,
qualifying, qualifying races, and the main race.  We will be thrilled if
the Pantera makes it through that much racing.

Anyway, you can probably get the results from the website link.

Thanks all, and hope to see some of you down in Daytona.

Steven G. Lisa, Esq.
