Subject: 2016 Team Pantera Racing - Award Nominations <br>
<br>
<div>Hey all you race proven slackers and slacker wannabees.<br>
<br>
It's time for the 2016 TPR award nominations. A reminder of what they are:<br>
<br>
<b>The Gary Hall Memorial Award</b><br>
This honor is awarded to the Team Pantera Racing member who shows outstanding support and dedication to both the DeTomaso marque and the TPR team. It is someone who is not afraid to push the limits of technology utilizing both old and new part and who participates
in racing events in a continuing effort to preserve the driving heritage of the Pantera.<br>
<br>
<b>Ellis Woumnm Memorial Iron Man Award</b><br>
This honor is awarded to the Team Pantera Racing member who shows stamina in the face of overwhelming odds. They are someone who has worked hard against deadlines, parts shortages and other difficulties in order to participate in an Open Road Racing event with
Team Pantera Racing. The honoree selected must successfully finish the race and not disqualify. They must show team spirit and a dedication to preserving the heritage of the DeTomaso Pantera.<br>
<br>
<b>Sweet Old Bill Award for Selfless Giving</b><br>
his honor is the only award given by Team Pantera Racing to non-members (in addition to members) and is a reflection on SOBills spirit of giving to the Pantera community. Nominees come from a list of those individuals who have unselfishly provided free assistance
to TPR members and other Pantera owners in the spirit of "paying the favor forward." These favors come in many forms and are highlighted by efforts to provide sound counsel, technical advice, parts or services in a free and friendly manner that improve the
Pantera ownership experience for everybody, with no other expectation than you passing on the knowledge or help to the next person who may need it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Last year, the 2015 awards went to:<br>
Iron Man - Asa Jay Laughton<br>
Gary Hall Memorial - Bob Radefeld<br>
SOBill Award - Paul Katchadourian<br>
<br>
This year saw the following racers and non-race team members:<br>
- Mark Skwarek - Pantera<br>
- Bob Radefeld - Pantera<br>
- Bud Hower - Pantera<br>
- Frank Cirrincione - Pantera<br>
- Dennis Antenucci - Pantera<br>
- Paul Katchadourian - Viper (yes, a Viper, at least it has a "P" in the name)<br>
- Peter Menyhart (SSCC crew)<br>
- Asa Jay Laughton (SSCC crew)<br>
<br>
My nominations are as follows (and remember, I'm the President, and this isn't a democracy) ;)<br>
<br>
Iron Man - Dennis Antenucci, for overcoming some interesting obstacles in his preparation for the race this year. Somehow he managed to overcome them all, either on his own or with the enthusiastic help of others, making the race, passing tech and finishing
a respectable last place at the fastest speed in his class. Besides, he hasn't had a team award in a while and this year I think he deserves this one.<br>
<br>
Gary Hall - Tough call here, Paul has been very supportive of the entire team the past three years. But he drives a Viper, which breaks the rules. So my second nomination would be for Mad Dawg. Can we give two awards to the same person in one year? Is this
Team Pantera Racing? Heck YES we can! If we want to, we CAN. And if we can do -that-, then we can give it to Paul, even if he does drive a Viper. Besides, this is mob rules. So what does the mob have to say on this one?<br>
<br>
SOBill - Peter Menyhart, for his selfless sacrifice of time and effort to attend the SSCC each year in nothing more than a capacity to help out with his expertise. It also helps that he can drive a tow rig and trailer to the finish line on the morning of the
race, giving the racers one less thing to worry about. Peter has been preparing his next Pantera to race and each year he's a little closer. Maybe next year he'll make it.<br>
<br>
<br>
There you have it. Nominations will close on Wednesday October 5. Then we have voting by a select few individuals, who may or may not have been bribed.<br>
<br>
Asa Jay<br>
PS. Nominations are now open for President. Nominations will stay open for about an hour so hurry up.<br>
