[TPR] NORC & New wheels

Sun May 26 11:51:16 PDT 2013

YES, There is the X factor...don't forget the TPR Crew Jet, the 165' Crew Boat and various Crew housing in Europe, Asia, and Bora Bora.

Yea that $350 Million Super Lotto winnings put into a R&D account so anyone with a Pantera crazy (mad?) enough to go 200 mph could access as much R&D money that they needed after signing worthless waivers and liability insurance. 

Much of the problem would be as you know is that guys like Mark would use most of the R&D money to go off to Bora Bora...he'd keep using that TPR R&D money to live the good life which is all any of this is really about but we'd still be talking/writting/bench racing about what it took to go 200 mph in a Pantera in THIS century until we could find someone who is too young to shave who will do it....who will say, "yea, it was MD and the TPR R&D team that inspired me to do this so they would finally shut the fok up ;-)))

Dear Professor Speed,

                 I only lack one winning lottery ticket from implementing your recipe for ORR success with a Pantera.  Of course, I note that your recommendations do not include any consideration for research and development nor maintaining team morale.  The lottery funds would also include funds for the motorsports engineering and carbon fiber fabrication department as well as what we will euphemistically call the “Brazilian Bikini Team”.   A plan and a mountain of money will result in success.

                             Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

Depends on  what VENUE you are talking about, right....if its  straight line at mohave, Bonneville, el Mirage I agree with the Pope you needs 800+ 

BUT,  if we are talking the H-318 road then start with;

Averaging 150 Mph ;-)>
Taking allot more weight off the Pantera or adding alllot more HP 
Adding taller ring gear and 5th (3,23 ring gear & taller 605)
Ron Davis rad
Add an air dam or cut out the bulkhead and add a new hood with a big air extractor
cover up A arms and bottom of Pantera
Design/add a rear end diffuser, and a rear spoiler
prayer beads
Jezus Bobblehead, etc
Last will and testiment......remember you are 68 and the pantera is a 100....its way overweight.
Yea I would love to see someone like you do it in a modified pantera that still looked like a Pantera, with steel body, a right seat, licensed to drive on the street, 2800-3,000 pounds but damn bro that is one heavy challenge....not one I would ever encourage you or anyone else to try in a Pantera....remember Junior was 14 when he last ran what he arguably called a Pantera...okay it still had a all most stock rear deck lid....but the rest of that 'race car' was a tube frame one off deal...no less cool but I remember when Charlie Puckett ran something like 166 Mph in his mostly then stock Pantera....pretty ballsy run....one he says  he would not want to try again.

Yea Cup car...I like it...we can put Pantera decals on it....probably get Pantera body panels 
to fit. ;-)

Step 1: Install a 600 cube Ford NA motor or build something supercharged - you need about 700+ HP to bust past 200...

Step 2: weld those breathers down :-)

There will be a lot of other items that rear their ugly heads going to 200+...

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?

Snow Job....If you run Unlimited you will have to run behind me!
Looks to me like from that photo you took of me being scooped up by the snow blow proves once again I am invincible.

Yea, bring it on!

PS  I just heard from Doug Mann (D-Mann) who said Joe Moore tried to call him

Just got back from NORC, a 6300 mile trip. What a time. MD was a great mentor and certainly knows the ropes. 

MD was instrumental in me getting a new set of wheels. The only problems with it are the steering rack is shot and the tires. Talk about a problem getting tires for  Pantera's  15" wheels. I'm open to suggestions.  Here she is!!!!

I just was in touch with Gail at Silver State and she said I would be able to run in the unlimited class.

Now we all know that MD might exaggerate at times but be prepared for the SNOW JOB!!!! 

More to come.

Mark
