[DeTomaso] Stoker kit??

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Are you in L.A. this weekend?  Go up to Willow Springs and watch Matt and the boyz do battle with Ferrari. Jim Saxton does a great job of putting on one hellva good track event.  I'll be down at Dick Drenske's shop in Huntington Beach working on my ride. The new hood with the Gurney flap should be done by next week.
   
  Also go see "The Worlds Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins. Its about an old dude obsessed with being the fastest human alive on a motorcyle. Its really about living out your dreams. I like to bust Donny's chops but he drives his fat boy in traffic in Portland when its raining. Now THAT takes balls!  Driving the Pantera at 200 MPH is nothing thats why I am only planning to go 180 during the ORR. Depending on how our road tests go with the new aero mods I may try and pull 200 in the One Mile Shoot-Out!
  Hoping the half Polish guy and the Canadian contingent will show up and sprinkle some mojo on my ride!

  Dawg,

I got the word from Erik today you are registered in the 180 Mph group. 
Without Curt, JB or I there to keep you out of jail or the Green Lantern I 
can only hope the rookies can keep up with you. ;~)

And one last thing.

Remember that the throttle goes in two different directions. You don't need 
to prove anything.
You're an old dawg but the only dawg we got.
