DeTomaso Mailing List: April 99, Message #65

     Yo My Peeps,
     We still need *you* for the Nevada Open In May.  If your anywhere in 
     the Southwest give me a shout.  Remember, any basic de tomaso vehicle 
     can participate in this event. You don't have to go fast or have a 
     anything close to a race car because their speed classes from 95Mph on 
     up. We also STILL have hotel reservations available so let me know if 
     you *think* you might be able to join us. 
     Thanks guys
     MD
