[TPR] Racing is upon us

[John Bentley]

thanks for the offer AJ, but no navigating for me.  My car will not be ready for SSCC this year, and I'm not sure yet if I will be going.  Might take the motorhome or might just fly, depends on work.  We'll see as the time gets closer.  Nice to hear Laurie will be there this year!

Alright boys and girls,
I've manually added our FirSSt lady of racing Laurie Ferrari to the TPR 
email list since ex-el-presidente' mentioned she was coming to SSCC this 
year with the rest of us Pantera misfits.

It's time to get our game on.

Mark just sent word that his Pantera is back together and ready for the 
road.  He'll be arriving to the SORC on August 5.  That's only three 
weeks away.  So this is a reminder to all our intrepid Pantera pilots 
running very soon.

Grab your checklist and make sure you are ready to go.
- Check the expiration dates on your Harnesses
- Check the date codes on your tires
- Check your fire extinguisher
- Check for leaks
- Check your throttle return springs
- Check your personal gear (helmet, suit, gloves, etc.)

For those doing SSCC we'll start going over the list bit by bit in the 
coming days, so get ready.

For those doing SORC, now's the time to bone up on the last minute 
items, double-check everything and then have your neighbor check it for 
you -again-.  We want a safe run for everyone.

Rowdy, great job getting the folks motivated.  Please, just don't wear 
out the Brazilian girls before we can have them for Silver State.  Did 
Franky get his Pantera ready this year?

Dawg, you better make sure your body/paint man gets ItBeWild done on 
time.  How's Russ coming along with the engine inspection and refresh?

JB, yea... well...  trying to keep a cap on that much estrogen in the 
house is tough...  so maybe this year you navigate for me instead.  If 
my car blows up, then we're even. ;)  Otherwise let's get Erik and 
others on-board to get you back in the race this year.

Everybody else, just make it happen; get it together and bring your 
Pantera to SSCC this year.  It won't be much longer and you might not 
find a Pantera at these events anymore, so do it while you can.

Besides, there might be a $10,000 prize purse this year.  Yea... maybe 
the SAME prize purse that's gone UNCLAIMED in the last SEVEN years.  
Nobody's had the balls to beat the challenge previously but I'd say of 
anyone, Mark has the best shot at it this year.  If Mark can average 160 
MPH and finish the course, and Mad Dog drives slower... the $10K is 
his.  How's that for some motivation?

As for the rest of us, we need to do some serious fund raising.

Thanks to Mad Dog, we again have sponsorship from Katch Environmental.  
 From my end I've started a GoFundMe page specifically to get -me- to 
SSCC this year.  I set a pretty lofty goal but then again I have a 
motive to donate half the funds raised to the ISAAC Foundation, a local 
charity that provides funding for Autism Therapies in the Spokane area, 
and maybe help out the rest of the team too.  You can find the GoFundMe 
page here:

Pass it along via your facebook and twitter accounts (that is if any of 
us have one of those things).

Alright, for now keep the shiny side up and look out for more reminders.
