Re: [DeTomaso] Record attempts on Bonneville

[JDeRyke@aol.com]

Al Bloomberg (the Pantera Kid) ran Bonneville once before with a completely 
stock Pantera and a highly reworked Boss 302 engine. He verified once again 
that one CANNOT run an unraked, no-front-spoiler Pantera at high speeds with any 
degree of control. The car nearly spun at 135 mph in qualifying, scaring Al 
thoroughly, and totally spun with Al's brother driving (the Avanti Kid), at 172 
mph, cracking an oil line & causing a small fire. 

Since the SCTA-BNI website seems to have a serious glitch (maybe the current 
internet worm in its server?) that prevents pages from ever completely loading 
unless you 'trap' them. I didn't see Carapi or 'Sweden' as a home country 
listed in pre-registration                      on Saturday; what is their team 
name? Cheers- J DeRyke
