All,



Just returned from a three-day Nor-Cal Shelby convention, with almost 300

people turning out for two days of open track, and car shows, etc. etc.  More

on the events there later (several Panteras present.)



Dennis Gage, the host of the television show "My Classic Car" on TNN was

there with his crew, shooting the event which will be featured in the new

season, coming out in January or early February.  Check it out, you might

catch a glimpse of Rick Carlile's Pantera at speed on the track.



The exciting thing is, Dennis is a Pantera NUT.  He doesn't know much about

them, but is strongly considering purchasing one (either that, or a '50's

Lead Sled cruiser, he's undecided right now!)  Anyway, I immediately

proselytized him up one side and down the other.  I mentioned to him that

POCA would be celebrating its 25th anniversary in Las Vegas next year, with

over 800 people expected to show up (along with a stack of DeTomasos) and

gave him a basic rundown of the event (track event, Mt. Charleston run,

Fremont St., etc. etc.)



Anyway, Dennis was really psyched, and said that HE WOULD BE THERE with his

camera crew, to shoot the event for TNN!  I'm mailing him a full POCA

propaganda package tomorrow, including a copy of the last Profiles that

covered Las Vegas (this year's event is in the copy that's being mailed to

you THIS week!)



So be there yourselves!



Mike
