[TPR] tires and wheels

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Peter is in California.  Mad Dawg knows where, the Whitehorse ranch 
where we do ballistics testing.  If he doesn't take them, I will but I 
won't be in Reno this year <sigh>.  Work schedule interferes.  I'll be 
flying to D.C. the Saturday of the Fun Rally so we're not even bothering 
to go.  If I end up with them, I'm sure we can arrange some kind of 
shipping that won't kill the pocketbook. :)
