Attached below is a post from Mad Dog that kept going into a black hole.
Apparently it was the attachment (a picture) that caused that problem. The
picture can be viewed at http://www.donegan.org/md.jpg for those that would
like to see MD in front of the pack at TWS :-)

Subject: FW: TWS PANTERA-PORSCHE SHOOT-OUT RACE PHOTO





P.S. Before we left Houston we drove over to John Hennessey's Viper facility
(Hennessey Motorsports) and checked out their facility by the airport and
some of the performance packages John offers (550,650 AND 850HP!).
The 850HP twin turbo package is NEW and you can expect they will be going
after the so-called  "stock" super car top speed that Corvette now owns (226
Mph). If anyone besides me has been following Viper's race successes, most
recently at Daytona you can't help but be impressed with the Dodge road race
efforts.  I met John about 2 years ago at SilverState where he is a regular
competitor and drives what he builds. If any of the Texas guys would like to
go out there again for the nickel tour let me know.

Yo My Peeps,
I've enclosed a photo of my piloting Gray Gregory's Pantera around the
corners of the road course at TWS. Running that big banked oval is pure
un-adultered FUN. There's a story heading Mikey's way on the event week-end
as well as more photos. I want to thank John (aka: Mary) again for
organizing the event and then making sure that everyone there had a great
time. I also want to thank Gray, Kirby, Steve, John, Zack, Dave, Martin,
Michael, Doc, and all the other guys who came out to the track to share the
Team Pantera Racing spirit.  We were as usual out numbered by about 7 to 1
but we were not out gunned and we were not defeated. All ya gotta do is look
at the photo below to see we were winning <grin>
The Houston Space City Pantera Chapter know how to party. :-)
