[TPR] TPR Updates, 2017

Sun Feb 5 15:51:42 PST 2017

Rules? What "Rules" you talk'in about Bro?? There are NO rules when talking
about slipping into the race @ the very last moment. BUT, having an entry
on file already before you arrive (& already being on the LONG waiting
list) can't help but exponentially increase the chances for success no
matter how many TPR cars are involved. I say "BRING'em ON", but think the
chances of multiple cars making it from the LEFT coast rates right up there
with the chance for 6 feet of snow being dumped on the city of Miami on a
summer day...........😵😱
