<p>It's that time. The Big Bend Open Road Race is just around the
corner in April with the Nevada Open Road Challenge close behind
in May. Team Pantera Racing Headquarters has it on good authority
that Dennis "Mad Dog" Antenucci will again grace the Nevada desert
with his 1972 Pantera in this years NORC. No word yet on any
other participants in the BBORR or NORC, but rumor has circulated
some Team Pantera Racing veterans may show. David Adin, our
favorite grouchy old man from Colorada, Steve Hawkins and John
Bentley may make showings this year. No word yet on our Favorite
BBORR veteran Michael Frazier but we'd bet he'll be there even if
it's not in a Pantera. We'll keep on top if it.</p>
<p>So get your Panteras ready, racing is nearer than you think. Get
those checklists out and make sure your cat is in top condition.
If you even -think- you'll need tires, NOW is the time to get them
not two weeks out from the start of the race. Look over all the
bearings, check that clutch, change the brake and clutch fluids.
Look for oil leaks. Inspect the belts and hoses, the ZF,
u-joints, etc. Check the expiration date on your race harnesses,
your helmet, race suit, shoes and gloves. Two weeks from the race
is NOT the time to find out you need new ones.</p>

and machine endurance, then now is a good time to start. Get off
the sidelines.... and drive.<br>
