[TPR] Colorado Mile report

[Bob Radefeld]

David,

Looks like it would be a fun event! Whose car is that in the picture? Must
have a built engine & higher gearing in the transaxle? BTW, you didn't
mention what your car ran? Having lived in Colorado while @ Fort Carson
when in the Army I definitely found out how higher altitude effects a cars'
performance!! :o(( Thanks for sharing your adventure with
us......................
