[TPR] Rear Main Seals & ORR Report

Sun May 12 13:52:12 PDT 2019

Rowdy here & yea, I'm on the waiting list like Bud for SORC! 😞 But, my
plan of being in Arnold is to either trailer my car (if I can borrow my
son's truck & a friend's trailer like I did several years ago) or just
DRIVE my car like I've done for the other 9 YEARS that I've been in the
race. With my car THERE I do have a fighting chance of getting slid into
the grid @ the last moment with help from several of my good friends in
Arnold😈 At least if I can't get slipped into the race I can still be there
as the "Official TPR Photographer" for this year's event & it's WAY to much
fun to be in Arnold during this time than to just stay home!! Besides that,
our "Family" of Gary & Jo Crow expect us to be there EVERY year whether we
race or not as we all have PERMANENT rooms reserved for us @ their home for
every year's race @ the "Crow Hotel & Bar" for the next at least 20+ years
& how can we pass that up!! 🤔 So, NEVER FEAR all of you left coasters, the
"Central States & East Coast contingents" of TPR Racing will NEVER be
sitting on our butts when it comes to showing up in Arnold,Nebraska for
SORC.........just banish the thought from your collective
minds..........😎  Over & Out...........
