[TPR] Racing is upon us

[Teampantera]

Guys
FYI on tire dates...was told by my tire guy that most distributors should be able to guarantee tire age within 6 months...if they can't guarantee that call someone else

>> Laurie, No problems with that, we just put a Team Pantera Racing windshield decal across the top, one on the back valance and you are good to go.  We don't mind watching all the -other- vette owners squirm when we come around. :)  I think one of Bjoern's cars wears a set of TPR decals too.

>> Oh.... and speaking of which... checking out the subscriber list, I find that poor Bjoern isn't on the list.   Well, being the Uber IT kind of guy I am, and knowing he likes to hang out with the best at SSCC, I've manually subscribed him.
>> 
>> Welcome Mr. Flesland to the Team Pantera Racing email forum.  It's a little unlike that -other- forum you may be familiar with  ;)   Don't let the long periods of silence bother you either.  When it's not race season... well, there isn't much to talk about.
>> 
>> Mr. Adin sir, grand Poo-Baa... did you get to Texas for that TWS event?  How about coming to play with us in Ely?  The girls miss you man, they saw the photo you posted and wanted to know who the tramp was kissing your cheek; they promised some "hands on" attention (whatever -that's- supposed to mean).
>> 
>> JB, see if Erik can come again, even if he doesn't bring his Pantera.  Hey, better yet, tow -his- Pantera to the race and have him drive since yours is still in surgery.
>> 
>> Dawgy, hey I hear you on the hot temps though it's finally cooling down for a spell up here at the Pantera Research Institute - Pacific Northwest Division.  The -smart- highway contractors always do their stuff at night, and amazingly enough tend to finish ahead of schedule and get decent bonuses.  You need to work on Paul to make sure he's got everything caught up and under control so he can take five days off work to party with the big dogs.  He needs time off just like anyone else.  Besides, he hasn't experienced The Brazilian Girls.  Rowdy says he'll take it easy on them at SORC and with a month off in between, they should be well rested to party hard with us.
>> 
>> Alrighty, the countdown continues, y'all have one less day to get shit done.
>> 
>> Tomorrow, I'm taking the Pantera to a friend who just recently traded his GT5 for a classic and rare Shelby.  I'll have him take it for a test drive to give me another "butt-in-the-seat" impression of what we need to do.  I figure I'm so used to the imperfections that I don't know what they really are.  Then, with whatever time we have, we'll address whatever we can in his well appointed shop.  Maybe I'll get some photos while I'm there.
>> 
>> If the prognosis is pretty good, I may order Tires from The Tire Rack next week.  I just need to look up the "insider" guy we found so I can get some really recent date codes.  How did everyone else make out talking to him and getting tires?
>> 
>> Still two hours left in Friday (at least on the West Coast USA), party on.  As for Bjoern... uh... Good Morning.  :)
