Asa, 
I'm planning on running both SORC and SSCC. Just need to get in touch  with Rowdy about accommodations in Arnold and Ely.
 I've been slammed with dealing with both my parents estates for the last 3 months.
I am truly sorry that things did not work out for my attending the Fun Rally.  
By the way, what happened to Franks P car?
I hope that you can find a way to come to SSCC.Mark

 We all know by now that Kirby helped put on a great Fun Rally in Texas 
this year, with many folks taking to the track at Texas World Speedway 
and having loads of fun.  I'm sorry I missed it but it was for a good 
cause... trying to make SSCC later this year.  Who else is getting ready 
for an open road race?

Mark Skwarek, finishing SSCC last year in his orange and black Pantera 
made a great showing.  How about it Mark?  I know it's a long drive, 
what are your plans this year?

Rowdy, Bud and our mid-west friends, how are the plans for SORC?  We 
know about Frank's unfortunate P-car accident.... a shame it wasn't the 
Porsche.  :)    So he'll probably not make it -again- in a Pantera.  
Who's on the cleared list so far for SORC, anyone?

I've not heard from anyone about the BBORR this year.  I'm feeling no 
love from that part of the country.  Of course, it's hard with a Fun 
Rally track event at TWS.  And now, they're even delaying the track 
closing, go figure... maybe they just want more Panteras to run. :)

JB, how's the engine coming along, are you on track for a September run 
or is the estrogen level in the house too high?  Of course you realize 
the that's exactly the kind of reason you need to get into the garage 
and start wrenching on stuff.

And let's not forget Mad Dog, sending his Pantera in for a makeover, I'm 
sure he's hoping he'll be ready by September.  He was talking a while 
ago about putting a few more horses into the engine if he could get Russ 
Fulps to do it.  I'm not sure if that's going to happen or not.

As for me... well.... I had grand plans but it's beginning to look like 
I may be out again this year.  My daily driver just went south yesterday 
and it's looking like it will eat up my SSCC funding.  New clutch, 
flywheel, timing belt set, water pump and a bunch of gaskets to seal 
things up.  I worked on it for eight hours today and I'm not even half 
way there yet.

I had hoped to take the Pantera out today to a friend who was going to 
help me troubleshoot some things, but now it's literally trapped in the 
garage until I get the gray hamster ZX2 back on it's feet.
