[TPR] Where are the racers? Who's getting ready?

Sun May 24 16:23:43 PDT 2015

Never FEAR gang, the TPR Central Division boys are here to save the 2015
ORR'ing day (or is that year?)!! By some miracle of luck we've got 4 (FOUR)
anxious Pantera racers ready to attack SORC with a vengeance & hold the
DeTomaso banner high in the Sandhills of Nebraska! Take my word for it,
we're going to have our four cats clawing on the asphalt on both legs of
the race in Arnold & have a blast doing it!!! :o))

I talked to Jo & Gary Crow last night, our GREAT family that puts us all up
for the duration of the race, and they're as excited as we are about being
our hosts again this year. We could never ask for a couple that were more
accommodating to our team than these folks have been for the last 5 years!
They not only provide us with "AAA" rated housing during out time there but
never fail to whip up some of the BEST country cooking for our whole team
that you can imagine. And, NEVER, EVER offer to pay for anything these
gracious folks provide for all of our team members or they'll threaten to
throw you out of their FAMILY.......don't ask any of us how we
know.............HaHaHaHa!!

So, we're ready to show all of you left coast Yahoos how ORR'ing with
Panteras should be done by gathering together the largest contingent of
participants in ANY ORR in the country in 2015. Stick that in your pipe &
smoke it.........!!!!  :o)))

Your ORR'ing Bro',

Rowdy
