That's the spirit! Mark is an -animal-! Two open road races in a
year, pretty soon he'll be catching up to the Dog.<br>
<br>
Sorry to hear you've been busy with your parents estates. I don't
imagine that can be any fun and can be pretty draining at times.<br>
<br>
Hopefully if I can make it this year I'll bring Bullet along.<br>

<div class="y_msg_container">We all know by now that Kirby
helped put on a great Fun Rally in Texas <br>
this year, with many folks taking to the track at Texas
World Speedway <br>
and having loads of fun. I'm sorry I missed it but it
was for a good <br>
cause... trying to make SSCC later this year. Who else
is getting ready <br>
for an open road race?<br>
<br>
Mark Skwarek, finishing SSCC last year in his orange and
black Pantera <br>
made a great showing. How about it Mark? I know it's a
long drive, <br>
what are your plans this year?<br>
<br>
Rowdy, Bud and our mid-west friends, how are the plans
for SORC? We <br>
know about Frank's unfortunate P-car accident.... a
shame it wasn't the <br>
Porsche. :) So he'll probably not make it -again- in
a Pantera. <br>
Who's on the cleared list so far for SORC, anyone?<br>
<br>
I've not heard from anyone about the BBORR this year.
I'm feeling no <br>
love from that part of the country. Of course, it's
hard with a Fun <br>
Rally track event at TWS. And now, they're even
delaying the track <br>
closing, go figure... maybe they just want more Panteras
to run. :)<br>
<br>
JB, how's the engine coming along, are you on track for
a September run <br>
or is the estrogen level in the house too high? Of
course you realize <br>
the that's exactly the kind of reason you need to get
into the garage <br>
and start wrenching on stuff.<br>
<br>
And let's not forget Mad Dog, sending his Pantera in for
a makeover, I'm <br>
sure he's hoping he'll be ready by September. He was
talking a while <br>
ago about putting a few more horses into the engine if
he could get Russ <br>
Fulps to do it. I'm not sure if that's going to happen
or not.<br>
<br>
As for me... well.... I had grand plans but it's
beginning to look like <br>
I may be out again this year. My daily driver just went
south yesterday <br>
and it's looking like it will eat up my SSCC funding.
New clutch, <br>
flywheel, timing belt set, water pump and a bunch of
gaskets to seal <br>
things up. I worked on it for eight hours today and I'm
not even half <br>
way there yet.<br>
<br>
I had hoped to take the Pantera out today to a friend
who was going to <br>
help me troubleshoot some things, but now it's literally
trapped in the <br>
garage until I get the gray hamster ZX2 back on it's
feet.<br>
