[TPR] Asa's Saturday update Aug 18 (late)

[bob Radefeld]

Sounds like you're do'in GREAT Asa!! Sure wish I was closer to you so I
could lend a hand like I was able to do with "Burnout Bud" so he could play
in Arnold this year. He & I are threatening to trip down to Nashville after
the first of next year if Godfather Frankie doesn't have his car ON THE
ROAD by then & haul it back to Buds' where WE can finish it for him!!! At
the rate you're going it sounds like you'll have adequate time to road test
your car & fix any small bugs that might pop up so you'll be ready to join
the party in Nevada. Keep up the good work.......all of us in the Central
Division of TPR are pulling for you!! :o))
