DeTomaso Mailing List: March 2000, Message #119

This is getting exciting guys.....Here's latest & greatest list of sign-ups
for C.A.R.S/Fort Stockton-Big Bend Texas and S.S.C.C./Nevada Open Lund-Hiko
Road Races for April & May...With the good possibility that someone from the
Qvale family will be piloting either the new TransAm prepared Mangusta or a
new stock Mangusta we may have to change our name from "Team Pantera Racing"
to....."TEAM DE TOMASO RACING"!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will change name anyway because Mel is coming aboard with a early vintage
'70 Mangusta - way to go Mel!!!

Some people said it couldn't be done. . .what they really meant was they
hadn't done it.
Racing is life. . .everything that happens before or after is just waiting.
 .If your not on the edge your taking up room.
