 Thanks all that attended the three days at the POCONO RACEWAY. If you =
were not their for the Tuesday track sessions you missed the best day. =
Lot's of track time with two groups. We combined Green and White....... =
and Blue and Red. Joe's GUARA was out and I had the pleasure of helping =
him turn it into a RACE car. Joe and Warren Hausman and Myself had 100 =
days to make a race car out of a street car. A really big THANKS to =
Warren who spent countless hours with Joe. I was their for three =
weekends of work but Warren was their through thick and thin.=20

   Well it all paid off as you who attended POCONO had the pleasure to =
see it up close and see it's maiden voyage on the track. It's far from =
finished but made two sessions for all to see. The BMW 4 liter has a =
loud Bark and makes some impressive power coupled up to the Getrick  6 =
speed. The car is almost a Formula 1 and the P Zero racing slicks make =
it stick like glue.=20


   I was driving my GT.-1 Tube Frame Mustang and had a ball playing with =
the Ferrari guys. Next year I think I'll bring my Group 4 P-car .  That =
little Mustang sure stuck to the track considering It was the first time =
I drove that race car. I did one session on Sunday with 1 year old hard =
racing slicks, had only around 50% throttle into it. Monday I took it =
out for two sessions after changing the ride height and spring rates. =
Felt much better. Tuesday was my day to play and got more comfortable in =
the car that was new to me. I will do a test day at Lime Rock and then =
my first GT.-1 race with the SCCA. The new Goodyear racing slicks have =
already been ordered.

  Joe, with EPA will be hosting another Track event SEPTEMBER the 10th a =
Sunday. Lots and Lots of track time and all are invited. I think the day =
will be like $150.oo. I will work the event again with Joe and Hope to =
see whoever can make it come out and have some fun. HELL that's why you =
purchased a PANTERA in the first place.THANKS

                                                       Mike O'Connor
