The Porsche is trying to escape but it didn't get far.

and the last

Looks awesome. I love it!

hey , nice ! must come to see you once.... this was a "Bravo" race , wasn't it ? On circuit Zolder ? I think i see it on one of the sponsors "REAL".....time ago i have seen Luc Moortgat's Pantera/project...wonder how far he is ???

and... what was your fastest laptime ?

excellent pictures of a Pantera on the track ... we don't get enough of those!

I'm glad the car is working well for you ... best wishes for many fast laps ahead!

(About the pictures, you can only upload one picture per post of a "discussion" type thread using the forum's photo uploading feature. One way to upload multiple pictures is to start a new "photo album" instead of a "discussion". It is possible to display multiple pictures in one "discussion" post, but to do so you have to load your pictures onto a photo hosting web site like Photobucket, after doing that you paste the host's URLs for those pictures into the text of a post, up to 8 pictures per post. I ask that you limit the width of your pictures to 1000 pixels. The URLs have to be bracketed by the "display image" UBB code which looks like this [IMG]URL Here[/IMG])

Unreal, and awesome too!!

It was indeed a Bravo Historic race @ Zolder.

Best laptime was 1:48.928

Love looking at Panteras in race form. Thanks for posting the pics.

great result. Went on sunday because I didn't now there was a historic race on saterday, and that was a seroisly boring affair.

Can you describe your cooling system for me? Is the hood vented? In the picures it does not look like the normal store bought vents. Do you have any engine oil or transmission fluid coolers?

The water cooling is a seriously oversized radiator and there's also an engine oil cooler but no transmission oil cooler.

But....... cooling is the main problem I have to adress and I'm going to start a topic about it hoping that the guys that really know can help me out.

that's already a great lap time ! about the same some of my "friends" get out of them Porsches's GT3 RS on trackdays....with 415 HP...

can you give your weight / HP ?

I (was) building a Porsche 928 for trackdays and hoping "Bravo" ( with my son as driver , i'm getting old ... ) but my engine builder Havik RS near Zolder went broke some months ago and stole my engine ! we do not found him anymore and is away with my +25k engine build.... see what i can do ... I also have the old "Bravo" 928 from Jerry Deweerdt which i rebuilded and have a fresh engine in...
plans for the future ....

Barry, what's to old ??????

Age is a state of mind and you're never to old to live a boy's dream.

I'm nearly 50 and some of our drivers are over 60 !!!!

So get out of the trunk of your car and join the Historics (cars and drivers)

About the car, it's 1275 kg and 500 hp but no ABS, no traction control, no ASR and no slicks, just my left foot and 500 hp. You should try it, it's fun.

My motto is " IF EVERYTHING SEEMS UNDER CONTROL, YOU'RE JUST NO GOING FAST ENOUGH"

Euh..... that should have been my right foot

Great looking cat! 1275 kg? Nice work to get it down there!

yes, you're right .. sure it's fun, but i tryed it on Zolder and the concentration is quite demanding... should practice on this.1 lap ,2 laps, yes, but 20 min/1/2 hour ? every straight,every corner going full .... don't see it happen that easy Ok, 30 years ago i did rally (some years) with specials up to 20 km but then i was 25/30 ..now 55... sure, first try had also alot of stress...more viewing the rear mirror for cars eventual passing then concentrating my lines .. ... perhaps...

I understand Your motto very well, as a result I left my bike on the first left after the start, went trough my leathers and my skin so that I could see my own bones. Now howe many people can say that

Great Pictures!!!

Absolutely love it.

When you have some spare time how about some pictures of the details on the car, engine, brakes, exhaust?

Thanks for showing some serious racers how serious a Pantera race car runs.

@ Belgium Barry & Suburb : we should meet some time together with kid @ Pat that's 5 Panteras.

@ PanteraDoug : I'll try to reconstruct the building form the start but that means resizing all the pic's.

would love it ! a Belgian Pantera meeting....

Great, but my cat has fallen asleep and I did not not have the time yet to wake her up

i wouldn't sleep if my cat was asleep ! now get in that garage and don't show up before she's awake ....

Told you it didn't get far

Finish of the first race

The Camaro comes in first, the Morgan second.
I Finished 0,7 sec after the Camaro.

congrats !

A bit late with my reaction, but...





I don't get to see any of the pictures though, nor in Firefox, nor in IE.

A gathering of Belgian owners is one thing, a gathering with owners AND cars, an other. There are more Pantera's (DT cars) in Belgium, but few owners are active on this forum.

Some of us seem to be really busy too (or constantly on the road for that matter), and some of the cars are track beasts.

Other than that, my "pussy" is asleep too, as I took of the heads, and have no replacements yet.

LOL, I had to log in (as to write the above post), to see the pictures...

And some nice footage of the race with lot's of Pantera on You tube

Don't know if this works as a link but maybe somebody that doens't struggle with computers like I do can make this work.

Part 3 of 4

Part 4 of 4

Should do it

But the speaker obviously doesn't know anything about cars - he claims you are driving an Alfa...

I know !

I enlisted the Alfa for the race because I wasn't sure the Panera would be ready with all the cooling problems we had during testing.

So the guy doesn't know what car it is, look's at his starting list and claim's it's an Alfa.

Somewhere during the race he say's "what a magnificent Alfa, it look's like a Lamborghini".

So, that tell's us a lot about his skills !
