This year I invited Nick my brother in law along who drove the Pantera in the C class while I drove it in the B class. We had the Hoosier slick tires on and boy did they make a difference! I was passing cars right and left and had a real blast. Before the event I added a new fuel system with an Aeromotive pump and regulator. This remedied my fuel issues from last years Rally.

I also added a front wing on the car which is made from 1/4" aluminum plate and angled about 30 degrees to create some downforce. Its shapped the same as the front of the car and painted to match. It looks really nice.

We had alot of fun this year in pahrump and will be back again next year.

We had a great time at the PCNC tech session on saturday. Ken Green met up
with me and we had spirited drive over to Roger & Pam's house. We were one
of the early birds and got started right away on installing my air dam.

The air dam didn't quite fit right. Basically it turned out too deep. So it
would sit out from the valance about 1/2 inch or sit flush against the
valance and we would have to cut off the ends at the wheel well to fit it
properly. We voted for the latter. So we first drilled the holes for the
valance and mounted it there. That gave us a reference for how much we had
to cut off on either end. Then first with a hack saw and later with the
bench grinder we smooth over the ends. I have been told there are better
fitting version out there, but I am happy with the results.
