[TPR] It's time to think about Open Road Race Season

[Asa Jay Laughton]

It's that time.  The Big Bend Open Road Race is just around the corner 
in April with the Nevada Open Road Challenge close behind in May.  Team 
Pantera Racing Headquarters has it on good authority that Dennis "Mad 
Dog" Antenucci will again grace the Nevada desert with his 1972 Pantera 
in this years NORC.  No word yet on any other participants in the BBORR 
or NORC, but rumor has circulated some Team Pantera Racing veterans may 
show.  David Adin, our favorite grouchy old man from Colorada, Steve 
Hawkins and John Bentley may make showings this year.  No word yet on 
our Favorite BBORR veteran Michael Frazier but we'd bet he'll be there 
even if it's not in a Pantera.  We'll keep on top if it.

So get your Panteras ready, racing is nearer than you think.  Get those 
checklists out and make sure your cat is in top condition.  If you even 
-think- you'll need tires, NOW is the time to get them not two weeks out 
from the start of the race.  Look over all the bearings, check that 
clutch, change the brake and clutch fluids.  Look for oil leaks.  
Inspect the belts and hoses, the ZF, u-joints, etc.  Check the 
expiration date on your race harnesses, your helmet, race suit, shoes 
and gloves.  Two weeks from the race is NOT the time to find out you 
need new ones.

If you've been anxious to push your cat to the limits of human and 
machine endurance, then now is a good time to start.  Get off the 
sidelines.... and drive.
