[TPR] TPR Updates, 2017

Sat Feb 4 12:57:28 PST 2017

Well Mark, you're totally correct that I failed last year to keep on all of
my little chicks tails when it came to sending in registrations for this
years' SORC.........My Bad...... 😞 But keep in mind that if you decide to
chance showing up there
with your car ready to race & play it right there's a good chance you'll
get a spot in the race (wink,wink)! The people of
Arnold just LOVE Panteras & even don't mind putting up with us members of
TPR-Central Division when we drink all of
their beer.........!! Hahahaha..........
