[TPR] NORC & New wheels

Sat May 25 19:48:23 PDT 2013

First I have to work my way up the speed class ladder. MD and I talked about this a little and one approach might be to just buy a cup car. It almost certainly would be safer. This is a long term goal. Hoping to run in the 150 class next time. Sept or 2014.

 I've got a lot of convincing to do.

 Right now the cost of the gas getting there is the most expensive part of the whole venture.

If you're looking to run unlimited in the Pantera, I think you've got a lot of work to do.  I don't recall all the details (I think they're in a POCA newsletter or Profiles somewhere), but there is a team who did Bonneville in their Pantera and exceeded 200 MPH.  They didn't have a lot of body mods as I recall but they had to have some serious horsepower.  Is it Daryll Adams that has the modified Pantera he's been running at the Mojave One Mile?  I  believe he's been approaching 200 MPH but again, lots of horsepower.  There -is- info out there if you want to challenge a speed north of 165 which it sounds like you are considering.  How soon do you want to attack it?  Asa
