[TPR] Team Pantera Racing donates flags to Silver State Classic Challenge

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Actually l don't think it was others waving flags at cars, I think it 
was other flags that were put up stationary along the course to show 
pride.  Unfortunately they flapped in the wind and caused some drivers 
to wonder what was happening (the colors were too similar to course 
flags).  Others just ignored them if they weren't being waved by a 
course worker.

TPR - furthering the quest to rid the world of ambiguity.
