<p>It's with great sadness that Team Pantera Racing announces the
passing of one of our most valued members; Dick Drenske, who
succummbed to Leukemia earlier this week. He was a great guy to
be around, shoot the breeze or have dinner with.</p>
<p>Dick owned and raced a 600 HP Pantera for 30 years. He was a
skilled master welder and fabricator, building many roll bars and
cages for TPR members still used to this day. He also fabricated
or worked on suspensions, brakes, cooling and even helped
occassionaly with EFI systems. Dick eventually retired from his
engineering Vice President position at Murray Company (also know
as Murray Mechanical) in Long Beach in addition to owning his own
shop for 20 years. His experience helped many TPR members over
the years understand the best modifications to make to their
Panteras. In addition to participating in various racing events
including open road racing, he also rode as navigator for TPR
President Dennis "Mad Dog" Antenucci in the La Carrera
Internacional de Ensenada in Mexico.</p>
<p>Dick is survived by his wife Cathy, his son Derek and daughter
Christina.</p>
<p>He will be sorely missed.</p>
