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. |
