First I want to thank my buddy Rich for helping<br>
me out with loading the car, keeping track of my keys<br>
and helping with everything and hanging out. I also want to thank all the <br>
Pantera owners who came out to support me. We talked to a bunch <br>
of cool guys besides that loved the car.. best of all we did not break it!!!<br>
<br>
Results... I am officially 28th out of 58 competitors<br>
If you are 20th or more in any part of the event you get ZERO.. lots of Zeros in the results<br>
Almost everyone scored 10 points for the cruise.. one broke<br>
a few must have taken a shortcut in cruising 5 miles one way<br>
down the Strip at 4pm on a Friday night and then 7 miles the other<br>
way.. then a short hop on the freeway to Shelby.. testing cooling..proving its a street car.. etc<br>
<br>
I only scored in the stop box event taking 13th overall.. car was slightly<br>
bogging down from the turn around point even after lowering the fuel<br>
bowel and installing a crossover tube..<br>
<br>
I had 8 cars score better than me in looks with no performance points<br>
In my book that moves me up to 20th overall.. not bad for a 40 year old car<br>
and many cars with from 800 to over 1000 hp<br>
<br>
I made row three of the group photo behind all the vendors and 300k cars.... they took their time picking the order<br>
I had a photo shoot with Popular Hot Rodding after I finished<br>
I had the guy at the start of the Autocross told me he loved the sound of the car<br>
Goldberg talked to me to pump you up and gave me a thumbs up after my run<br>
They put cameras on the car several times.. inside and out<br>
When I pulled up to do the stop box they held me for a bit as the helicopter camera guy really wanted to shoot<br>
the car on my run...they waited and he a tech problem so no shot<br>
On the track run I had the Race car driver behind me in the photo car for two laps- 570hp 4 wheel drive Amg station wagon-fast,fast<br>
I met and talked to Herb Adams of VSE.. cool guy running his 40 year camero<br>
I burned the tires off the car but still had good launches in the autocross and stop box challenge<br>
I did spin the car in the autocross and did not fair too well but beat my mustang buddy by 4 seconds<br>
<br>
One of the local autocrossers I have know since he was 16 won the overall event in his Dad's 65 vette<br>
Last year he lost by 1 point <br>
<br>
Great times and when I thanked Jimi Day of Optima he told me everyone loved the Pantera<br>
It will be televised on Mavtv I believe in Februrary.. the Pantera will hopefully have some air time<br>
<br>
They just annouced a new series leading up to the Challenge starting in March at Laguna.. it will be a new Mav tv series<br>
I will be there but more than likely with the Firebird knowing I got Zero points in the pretty catagory with the Pantera<br>
<br>
I just died and went to heaven.. it was a great ride... best thing I have done in the car so far<br>
<br>
Bob Benson still #3 black Pantera <br>
