Concorso Italiano, Saturday August 20, 2016 Celebrating the Mangusta's 50th Anniversary

I dunno know Larry ... a tee shirt for an IBEW member? From Fresno no less?

That's asking a lot!

(FYI to those who may not have figured-out my sarcastic comment, I am a retired member of the IBEW, local 18, Los Angeles. Larry's union brother)

Yes! Great looking shirt! My wife will like it too if it makes me look like the dude in the picture!

Thanks George!

Looking forward to a great event and meeting more Pantera family. So is Garth's BBQ on Saturday after the CI? If so, do many folks drive out to the track from the golf course?

Trying to decide what tickets to buy for the Historics/parking corral etc.

Deb and I are out of the loop regarding the Historic Racing. You may want to PM one of the PCNC guys, i.e. Garth or Larry. They are good people.

Here's a picture of the trophies

SHINY !!!

Yes, my annual track side BBQ is on! All Pantera family and friends are invited. Festivities start Saturday immediately following the last race.

For Concorso attendees, it's a crap-shoot whether you can get in or not. "Officially" the track folks have said no entry without a race ticket for that day. However, last year a number of folks came over after Concorso and drove right in (I think one person told the gate attendee they were only stopping at "that camp site right there for a bit" - my camp site is just inside the main entrance on the right).

I'll post a formal announcement next week.

Hey folks, FYI.

We have 37 exhibitors registered as of my last notification. This includes 6 Mangustas! The Ford Mangusta (originally purchased by Gene Bordinat) and the GM Mangusta (originally purchased by Bill Mitchell) shall both be there.

Tom Tjaarda shall be at the event, and will spend his time with us when he is not obligated to be elsewhere. This shall be an excellent opportunity for photos and signatures.

Debbie and I hope to see you there.

The Concorso is next Saturday.

Debbie and I shall be headed there soon.

We hope to see you there.

and for us that can't make it, I hope you take some photos

We'll see you there George! This will be our first time as an exhibitor and Look forward to meeting you and other DeTomaso friends!

And yes, plenty of photos to be taken

Looks like I will be able to get the Pantera roadworthy by end of today for the Monterey weekend, so I went to purchase tickets and a corral pass for Laguna Seca, however they are apparently sold out on the corrals. If anyone has a corral pass they are not intending to use for Sat/Sun I will gladly purchase it.

Thanks,
Julian

Debbie and I shall be heading north tomorrow, destined for Monterrey.

We'll be seeing some of you at the Concorso, and others elsewhere. Last count we had 39 registered exhibitors.

We'll have the laptop with us, so we'll be able to keep an eye on our internet responsibilities.

Any pics?
