[TPR] Our favorite Dog relegated to the Porch...

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

How can I get excited about running with you guys if I can't find you? Yea, I 
know its scary thinking 

about racing a legend like me but I am not running again until at least one of 
you shows up...
Pay out $5,000 dollars ain't enough to find you? Well the money is gone now 
anyway. Everything is 

gone.

I don't know why I am writing this....everyone is gone. How long ago did you 
write this AJ?

The real reason I never got past Vegas was I drank a little too much Tuesday 
night and woke up 
with a splitting headache Thursday.  I yelled to see if John Bentley, Bob 
Benson, Erik Belter, Jason 

Eaton, Peter Menyhart, Dick Drenske, Larry Stock, Doc Abe, Dan Courtney, Charlie 
Puckett, Junior 

Wilson, Rich Hoppe, Dave Doddek, Bud-7-pistons, Bobby Byers, and even yelled out 
Laurie Basile's 
name....all were missing. 

Not even the real Texans like Gray Gregory or Steve "Hawk" Hawkinson were 
there.  

But they weren't in Texas either......HAHAHAHA Yea,  ALL painfully missing in 
action!

Friday rolls around again and now my Pantera is missing too. I go down the 
elevator and the casino's 
are empty.....in fact Vegas is empty.....EVERYONE IS GONE!

The good news is there was  still cold beer on tab in every casino in 
Vegas! Why would I ever leave. . .

Friday I wake up a third time (Ground Hog Day?) and realize I am not gonna make 
it to Ely and who 

would miss me anyway? 

If everyone is gone yet there is STILL cold beer then maybe I died and went to 
heaven? Or could 

this maybe be HELL?

So I ask you WHO AM I WRITING TO?

Okay, so no one showed up....not a very good excuse huh? Like the DOG ate my 
homework.

To read the REAL answer you need to read my response to AJ's email on 
shocks...hmmm, very 

convenient no?

In mean time soon as I stop crying like a girl we have really got to get some of 
the veterans out to 

SS in September in a Pantera or something that looks like something that is a 
red headed stepchild....
or even some rookies or some monkey's on crack with a Pantera so if you are a 
veteran monkey 

or a racer monkey or you have somehow survived the holocaust in Texas you need 
to go 
to Silver State in September. I am hearing everyone will be BACK before 2012 and 
you all know what
happens in 2012!

SURFS UP BABY!

No, not Porsche.... PORCH.

Just got word from Team Pantera President Dennis "Mad Dawg" Antenucci 
that he's out of the running for this years Nevada Open Road Challenge.  
He left home earlier in the week after a meticulous series of tune-ups 
and test runs in California.  However, it seems he discovered a 
suspension problem after taking the Pantera off the trailer for a test 
drive around town in Vegas or Ely I'm not sure which yet.  Being 
prudent, especially when running anything above a 110 class, Dennis 
evaluated options and finding none that could be applied in time, 
decided the better part of valor was to not race.  I'm sure he'll fill 
us in on the details later.

So the $5,000 challenge moves to September when he believes he'll have 
the Pantera all sorted out and ready to run again.  Anyone else plan on 
taking him up on that?
