<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>The members of Space City Panteras and Dallas/Fort
Worth Panteras
whole heartedly invite you to join us for some Texas hospitality
at POCA’s 2015
Lone Star Fun Rally, to be held in Houston, Friday, May 15th
through Tuesday,
May 19th, 2015. </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>WHY TEXAS? </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>There are a number of compelling reasons for you to
attend the 34<sup>th</sup>
annual POCA Fun Rally that we have affectionately dubbed the
POCA Lone Star Fun
Rally. </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>First of all Texas, the Lone Star State, is a giant
of a state. </span><span> </span><span>Texans are known for their large, welcoming hearts.
</span><span> </span><span>"Friendship" is the state's motto, and the people
of
Texas live by that motto. Heck, we even have road signs that say
“Drive
Friendly!” </span><span> </span><span>You owe yourself a
visit. </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Next, enjoy some real Texas hospitality at a
working Texas ranch
by attending our world famous Pantera Pig Roast, held at our
favorite Pantera
Technical Center, Gray Gregory's Ranch.</span><span> </span><span> That's
right,
you’re welcome to wrench on cars during the day or just hang
around for the
home cooked grub served that evening. </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>As a special once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Space
City Pantera
member and rocket scientist John Haas will lead a private tour
of the NASA
Neutral Buoyancy Lab at the Johnson Space Center. The Neutral
Buoyancy Lab
contains a full size, submerged mockup of the International
Space Station
(ISS), complete with a fully functional earth-bound ISS arm.</span><span> </span><span> This immense underwater facility is used to train
astronauts
for zero gravity space walks and outside repairs to the orbiting
ISS. The
titanium ISS arm, designed and constructed by a NASA team that
included John
Haas, is an absolute engineering masterpiece that will inspire
awe in any gear
head. </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>While at the Johnson Space Center, we will also
visit Rocket Park,
which contains an amazing collection of vintage NASA launch and
orbital
vehicles. Foremost among them is the restored 3-Stage Saturn V
rocket,
complete with Apollo capsule, escape tower, lunar lander module
and lunar
command module. This 1960’s technology monster is one of only
three left
in the world, stands over 36 stories tall and has rocket exhaust
nozzles large
enough to walk through. Words cannot do it justice. It truly
must
be seen to be appreciated. </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>For you racers and race spectators alike, Texas
World Speedway
(TWS) is on the agenda for two spectacular track days. TWS is a
challenging 2.9 mile road course with screaming long straights</span><span>, </span><span>fast banked corners</span><span> </span><span>and
the occasional
twisty bits in between. Over the years, we have hosted a number
of TWS
race weekends, most recently with over 25 Panteras from
California, Colorado,
Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma in attendance.</span><span> </span><span> TWS
is the perfect
track for stretching your Cat’s legs and it may even be the best
track of any
previous Fun Rally.</span><span> </span><span> While TWS is our home
track, it is
unfortunately going the way of Riverside Raceway in California.
</span><span> </span><span>After our event, TWS will be bulldozed to make way
for a housing
development later in 2015. </span><span> </span><span>This will be our last
goodbye to an old friend.</span><span> </span><span style="color:#1f497d;"> </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>We have also planned a special group visit to a
private automotive
collection of over 215 cars and memorabilia ranging from the
1930’s through
present day.</span><span> </span><span> Indoor settings
recreate an early gas
station/garage and 1950’s diner.</span><span> </span><span> Those
who have been
there remark that it is among the most fascinating displays they
have seen</span><span>,</span><span> as it emphasizes automotive development and new
factory cars that
were relevant during their lifetime. </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Last but definitely not least, Houston is centrally
located within
the Continental US, with multiple intersecting interstate
highways and one of
the largest, most accessible airports in the nation. </span><span> </span><span>Because of this, we’re hoping to see members and
their Panteras
from all sections of the country. It’s an especially good
opportunity for those
of you living in the central and eastern parts of the country to
attend a Fun
Rally. </span><span> </span><span>Besides the De Tomaso
cars, the Fun Rally
provides an excellent opportunity to build friendships by
connecting a face to
the voice on the phone or the forum conversation that we’ve all
had over the
years.</span><span> </span><span>The POCA Lone Star Fun
Rally will be held for
one year only, so whether you’re a Fun Rally veteran or a first
timer, this is
the one to attend!</span><span style="color:black;"> </span><span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="yiv4926833075MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Take advantage of our Texas hospitality and join us
next May at
the 2015 POCA Lone Star Fun Rally!!!</span></div>
