Reply to "Concorso Italiano 2009"

Pantera International exists to support DeTomaso owners and further our hobby. I'll support the event that owners want to attend. I've spoken with the concorso folks & explained my position. Everyone is looking at the two big Ferrari clubs, wondering what they will do, because the momentum is with them. You better believe the Concorso's new owner (Tom McDowell) is working hard to get them back to his event. If he could make an announcement that the Ferrari Owners Club & Ferrari Club of America have committed to attending his event, the event at the BlackHorse will die. He's got a lot on his shoulders, I've wished him luck. Unless the two Ferrari clubs make a split decision, one of these events is destined to fail. I'm hoping Tom McDowell can unite everyone, so the clubs don't have to decide between two events. That's crazy.

Mark says POCA remains neutral, thats cool. We need to work together, keep all the DeTomasos in one location. I have some work to do in this regard myself. That's about where everybody outside the Ferari clubs is, we're on hold as the Concorso drama develops.
