[TPR] No Pantera's at the BBORR....was] BBORR REPORT

Mon Apr 25 20:10:12 PDT 2011

Monseinor,

Congrats on the run and 2nd place in the Miata.  You obviously nailed your 
time/speed average to do that well so congrats again....I'm not surprised by 
your 2nd place....as I recall you trophied in Nebraska at the SORC 
before.....but come on you pussy.....were you really  worried about 220 oil 
temps... or was it the 100+ ambiant heat and humidity? HAHAHA

I've been following John Tiemann in his replica GT40  since he first started 
running it and it runs as good as it sounds. You didn't mention John's average 
speed but I am sure if he was hitting 200 in straights he must have averaged 
150-160 yes? Worth mentioning he is a great driver.

What average speed did Jack run? 20th Place?  Hell if you can't win, place or 
show, I'd still rather be the fastest or the slowest car as long as I was having 
fun which I am sure he, you and everyone else at the BORR were. 

Which is one more reason I liked the La Carrera road race in Ensenada or the La 
Bufadora Hill Climb...who ever had the fastest speed in each division won. 

TPR dying? Well it ain't dying yet in California, Nevada or Nebraska!  
JB and I should make it next month and I think Rowdy and Bud and maybe 2 others 
(Frank Cirrincione & Jim Wallace?) will be at the SORC in August......JB and I 
plan to fly out to Nebraska in August to cheer on the troops and then bragg we 
have the fastest course average. ;-]>

Seriously, Rowdy and Bud ahve done a great job banging the drums and rattling 
cages and getting the word out.... and you know thats NOT easy when EVERYONE 
with a Pantera can barely stay awake.  Which is why I am buying a slow boat this 
summer. 

No Pantera's at the BORR?  That only proves once again what old Drill 
Instructors used to say...and that was, that there are only two kinds of people 
that come from Texas........one was a cow with no nuts. . . And yea the other is 
GAY.... ;-)))))) 

Waiting for the Hawk, Kirby, or Gray in Texas to roast me alive ;-]>

BBORR 2011 report - sorry, NO Pantera content!

Unlimited was won by some frekin'  corvette that average  165.888.  second was J 
Tiemann in his GT 40 averaging 160mph  w/ a  trap speed of 202.  If you ever get 
the chance to hear this puppy w/ the  unmuffled 180 exhaust, have a tissue 
ready.  Charlie Friend had a dizzy  fail and the big mopar had a fire.

The only Pantera people I recognized were Jack Houp (former Pantera now  GT40 
driver) and Michael Frazier.

M. Frazier was 5th in the 120 class - fast by .050 mph.  
Jack was 20th in a class of 29.
David got a second place trophy - no competition in my class.  I did  clock my 
tech speed of 124 in the traps, the little Miata pulling with all its  heart!

Weather was WAY hot ( 95 or 100) - I didn't think my car would make it (  220 
oil temps), but all was in control.

Only 68 corvettes entered this year - it has become tiresome!  I guess  TPR is 
dying . . . . .

Good to hear Darryl put in a decent time at the Mojave Mile, at least  SOMEONE 
is driving a Pantera these days.

all the best to my Ford friends . . . .

David

>>A couple of winters ago I was converting the V8 Miata from EFI to      carb.  
>>This involved a fuel pressure regulator and a new HEI ignition      system.

>>First, I plumbed in the fuel system.  Everytime I checked for      leaks I had 
>>one fitting that would leave a gas smell on my fingers.       Eventually, this

>>No start.  WTF? I says to myself.

>>Check the fuel, yep pressure. Try it again. . . ..  no  start.

>>Better check for spark . . . .

>>Even a small fire, in the garage where the Pantera lives (that is      connected 
>>to the house) is a BIG freakin' fire.  (Hint: turn off the      fuel pump before 
>>jumping out the a flaming car.  Trush me.)
>> 
>>So, I picked up the fire ext. placed by the car (I thought I was no      dummy .
