DeTomaso Mailing List: October 98, Message #66

Hi All,

I posted earlier that those interested should get together in Vegas next
year, while at the Fun Rally, and celebrate Team Pantera, the drivers, the
sponsors and the hard working members that put together such a great
success for the DeTomaso Pantera at Silver State this year, and send them
off to the May race in style.

I have an idea and I'd like to bounce it off a few heads.  While in Vegas
on my last customer service trip, I took in dinner at Sergio's Italian
Gardens.  This was a great Italian restaurant, a bit on the pricy side, but
very good.  More information about them can be found at:

http://www.sergiosrestaurant.com/

This web site lists their general pricing, banquet facilites etc.  I was
thinking, if we could get enough participation, we should make some
reservations and do some celebrating.  Perhaps we could even get them to
cordon off part of the parking lot for our arrival.  We could have a kind
of "hood raiser" right there.

Now this idea is designed to stimulate thinking.  We could go anywhere,
from the Hard Rock, to Burger King, I don't think it really matters.  Our
goal is to celebrate victory and recognize hard work and dedication.  I was
merely thinking of keeping with an Italian theme.

So, of those planning on going to the Fun Rally next year in Las Vegas, may
we see a show of hands of those who would be interested in participating in
this kind of celebration.  I would also like to hear any other ideas you
may have.  Which day would be better?  Perhaps after the track event?
While the adrenaline is high and the bench racing is hot?  Please let me
know, and I'll see if there is enough interest for me to try and plan
something.

Since the "arrival BBQ" in the parking lot idea fell through (due to hotel
restrictions), I'd still like to "help out" in some way with folks having
some fun.  So let's hear the ideas.
