The Panteras and some of the people at TWS

Pictures complements of Louis Schlaudt. Thanks, Louis!


Bob Radefeld drove all the way down from Topeka! Nice car, Bob!!!

Bill Borrello drove up from Houston for the Saturday pictures.

Dan Mixon's a newer member of Space City Panteras.

Dennis Coffman made it down from Nacogdoches. Good to see you again, Dennis!

Dennis Jones' car. His first time on the track! Dennis put this car together from a bunch of boxes of parts.

Fred Hall doing his obligatory wrench work. Note the nitrous system he has installed.

Gary Hall's car from California. Nice blue!

The only known picture of Jack Houpe from Arkansas standing in front of Gary Hall's car. Jack took his Renault R5 Turbo home early due to some ignition problems.

Jim Thompson, a temporarily transplanted Australian, drove his '74 on the track for the first time.

John Taphorn's yellow beauty!

Kirby Schrader, Dennis Coffman and Mark Prise. Mark was visiting from Aberdeen, Scotland.

I had the louvers off to get them repainted, if you wonder what's different... Sunday wasn't too good a day for me due to a fried piston and broken ring during the session just before lunch. That's John Taphorn with his back to the camera.

Mark Krivanek's Long and Newman Pantera next to Bill Borrello's. Mark's car is very interesting and Mark and his Dad did a great job getting it together and going. We hope Mark will write an article about it!

Louis Schlaudt's nitrous equipped Pantera! He's broken into the 11's at the track!!

Jim Narum's pristine white Pantera. Jim's first time on the track also! Said he loved it!

Rick Inserra's car from Austin.

Tom Upton's street car with racecar tires. Tom spent most of the weekend giving people rides in Gary Hall's car.

William King's car. Webers (he's an expert on the subject!) and a new deck lid.

After the front straight pictures, all the Panteras got to take a parade lap together. Here we are heading into turn 1 off the straight.

Looking back at turn 7. It's banked and uphill. You can really fly through this turn!

Out of turn 9 and into the carousel.

Into turn 12... Another fast corner.

The famous straightaway.

Looking back down the straightaway.
