Reply to "Hugh Kleinpeter DeTomaso Racing"

...Hello, what was Kleinpeters' Racing Number? (on his car)? I have a couple of photos of (A) Yellow Pantera, Exact Color, racing at, what we then called, Sears Point. It was the IMSA 'Camel' Series Road-Race in 1984-(5) Can't remember.

I believe that pantera was doing very well...may have even been in the lead. We were on the hill at the exit of the 'Caracelle' Turn, when the Yellow Pantera shot under and past us, right to left. Then suddenly pulled-off the track, out of the race, never to start again. I heard later, it might have been a Electrical Failure to the Ignition, even though he was running Dual Ignition Systems. I'll try and locate those pics and post them here.

...I Also heard 'someone' mention, "A Pantera has Never Finished at Sears Point!"

MJ
