<p>Dear Cowboy,</p>
<p>STOP IT!<br>
There is no such thing allowed as depression in our dysfunctional goup....but I am getting starting to feel depressed now thinking my pantera is in Tommy Hodges shop amd I cant drive it while weather is so nice...although Tomy dont get depressed or get upset with his painter because Tommy fired his painter and now Tommy is subing paint work out again to others. Yea thank you and Bud for your lessons learned ;-) one more reason why I found a no-drama painter near my job site in Fresno...of course he doesnt have Pantera yet either haha</p>
<p>Speaking of Toms u are saying Tom Upton is still vintage racing.?......hell I thought he died about same time as Gary Hall!! and now you say both of you on the track together in the future...awsome...</p>
<p>speaking of race prepared panteras what happened to Gray Gregory and his beast? I read on Linked in he's a builder now!<br>
Does he still have the ranch? I loved the way those Long Horned cattle used to run to the fence to listen to his race pantera running...it cracked me up.<br>
I though the cattle were dumb..they smart as Gray said no one eats them..they are ornamental cattle....oh geez has Texas changed1 ;-)</p>
