[TPR] Fw: ONE TEXAS PANTERA OWNER'S RETIREMENT

Sat Apr 9 04:39:21 PDT 2011

John,

That might work !  I could use some extra money about now. But,did you drive yours over 1200 miles on 7 cylinders to get home ?

in addition to running ORR's on 7 cylinders, another similarity is my car is #4300 and yours is #3400.  Maybe we should buy a super-lotto ticket?

Hi John,

Yes, that would make sense ------- I hadn't considered the link since I have non-roller lifters.

Hi Bud,

My guess is it was the tie bar connecting the intake lifter to the exhaust lifter that kept the intake lifter from popping out.  It was a solid roller cam (Hall HP-6).  The push rod was just laying there next to the lifter and the rocker was in pieces.

John, 

What did you do to keep the lifter, for the broken rocker, from  not coming up out of it's bore?

Just curious.

oh common, I've run Silver State on 7 (broken rocker).  Its not really that bad.  Hard to start, but that wouldn't stop me.

Sorry Mad Dog,
I just don't think I want to run another ORR on 7 cylinders -- I might want to run faster than 134 mph.

Michael Frazier's has been busy and was not able to to prepare his Pantera for the Texas Big Bend ORR. As noted below in a recent interview AJ conducted as our roving TPR reporter ....this disturbing news has motivated me to get my Pantera ready for the NORC in May and I hope it motivates the rest of you to get ready for either the SORC in August in Nebraska or the Silver State in September.

NOT 'one' Pantera is registered for the Big Bend ORR in Texas next week.....  Dave Adin is bringing his Miata, MF'r is bringing a Vette, and Carter Boyer is bringing his Mustang. . .all cars everyone loves seeing a chick drive but where are the Pantera's?  

Mad Dawg Antenucci 
Team Pantera Racing 
The 1st & still the only vintage race team in open road racing 
www.teampanteraracing.com

As Pantera owners get older they sometimes begin to doubt their manhood and ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that their hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other Pantera "seniors" who have found the courage to take on new challenges.  Michael Frazier is such a person:

THIS IS QUOTED FROM Michael:

"I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you've parked the Pantera for good and retired?'
Well...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whiskey into urine. It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling. I do it every day and I really enjoy it and at my age what am I gonna do with a Pantera?" 

Michael should be an inspiration to us all.
