[DeTomaso] Another Successful Jersey Pantera Event

[tony DiGiovanna]

Hello Fellow DeTomaso Enthusiasts:
Been a bit busy, so this message comes a little late (some of it more so
than other parts.)
Just wanted to take a moment to pat ourselves on the back and thank all
those who have supported our events this year.  We just, this past weekend,
completed a Pantera concours event at the New Hope Automobile Show just over
the boarder in PA.  This event has just come back after three years of
hiatus.  There was previously a pretty good level of participation from
local DeTomaso owners.  The organizers asked us to take on the DeTomaso
group including judging responsibility very recently, as the event was
pulled back together at the last minute this summer.  We had 10 Panteras in
attendance and trophies went to Tony Pagaio of Bethlehem PA for 1st place
with a 1973 GT5-S conversion (fabulous car), Peter Provost of South Orange,
NJ for 2nd place with a 1972 Pre-L, and to Bill Nelson III of Riegelsville,
PA with a very stock 1072 Pre-L.  Congratulations to them and thanks to all
that attended.  We will continue to operate the DeTomaso section of this
event and should be able to organize further in advance, secure some divided
classes within the Pantera group, and put attendance back up to its previous
levels.  http://www.newhopeautoshow.com/

We also had an enormously successful Pocono Celebration of Speed and Design
(CSD) this year at Pocono Manor and Pocono Raceway Memorial Day Weekend.  We
had 26 Panteras at the concours and a bunch at the track event.  For those
that don't know, Jersey Panteras is a partner with the Ferrari, Maseratti,
Lamborghini and Corvette clubs in organizing and operating this event.  We
were blessed with great weather and cars.  We had the Ferrari FXX at the
concours and on the track.  If you email me, I'll shoot you a video of the
FXX on the front straight.  www.pocono-csd.com Congratulations to the
