Never FEAR gang, the TPR Central Division boys are here to save the 2015 ORR'ing day (or is that year?)!! By some miracle of luck we've got 4 (FOUR) anxious Pantera racers ready to attack SORC with a vengeance & hold the DeTomaso banner high in the Sandhills of Nebraska! Take my word for it, we're going to have our four cats clawing on the asphalt on both legs of the race in Arnold & have a blast doing it!!! :o))

I talked to Jo & Gary Crow last night, our GREAT family that puts us all up for the duration of the race, and they're as excited as we are about being our hosts again this year. We could never ask for a couple that were more accommodating to our team than these folks have been for the last 5 years! They not only provide us with "AAA" rated housing during out time there but never fail to whip up some of the BEST country cooking for our whole team that you can imagine. And, NEVER, EVER offer to pay for anything these gracious folks provide for all of our team members or they'll threaten to throw you out of their FAMILY.......don't ask any of us how we know.............HaHaHaHa!!

So, we're ready to show all of you left coast Yahoos how ORR'ing with Panteras should be done by gathering together the largest contingent of participants in ANY ORR in the country in 2015. Stick that in your pipe & smoke it.........!!!!  :o)))

Your ORR'ing Bro', 

Rowdy

Yea where are they?
Well we see the answers and they are us!

Its work or aging parents or aging drivers or  fixed retirement incomes, or finding out like I did. . .

That  remodeling and selling a home in one state and buying another in another state and working remotely 12 hours a day, and making wife #1 understand I can only be amazing 21 hours a day and then dont get me stsrted on  my painter understand that they build cars on TV In less then 60 minutes (45 with commercials), or makin girlfriends #2-4 all understand I am a little busy. ..but okay writing all that and making sure I remember there is a war on Isis going on, or I also haf to secure sponsors, find my hanf picked replacemwnt or decide if if I want to have 650 HP or 1500 HP and dont forget I am also buying the new TPR BOAT....not asking for any donations...like JB in the TPR  Party Bus all I ask is you do NOT throw up, whine or complain about how it seems I have everything and you have nothing....

Yea no one thanks me, mostly you all hate me or want me to shut up but as I realize playing second fiddle to a super star ain't easy....well

Let me ask you something here....do you think it was easy for Bruce Jenner?

Yea exactly...so suck it up and get err done.

Go Ducks

Quack quack

That's the spirit!  Mark is an -animal-!  Two open road races in a year, pretty soon he'll be catching up to the Dog.

Sorry to hear you've been busy with your parents estates.  I don't imagine that can be any fun and can be pretty draining at times.

Hopefully if I can make it this year I'll bring Bullet along.

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.
