[TPR] Rear Main Seals & ORR Report

Wed May 15 21:05:00 PDT 2019

Is it just me? We really need bud or dave to teach these slackers how to add their name to the email. :). It’s free. Everything comes through as from tpr and the only way I can figure out who sent an email is to hit reply. Help a brotha out!
JB <—————

Ps, after I hit reply I see this is from my buddy Laurie

I'm thinking the kind of Sr. living place where there are field trips like kids used to go on in the olden days, arts and crafts, board games, bored games, swimming, aerobics and golf, yes and not miniature golf.  I mean a big full fledged course (still must be by water though and not where it's 120 degrees either).  Oh yes, and at least one reserved garage spot for a Pantera.

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...........

All the Panteras ran well but Randy Grubb ran very well and very hard all day long with his Finely tuned Weber’s sticking on top of Aussie heads and while Randy’s engine is not stroked he was pulling Shelby’s and Vettes all day long on the front and back straights at PIR. I am gonna quess that Randy was easily pulling 500 Hp.

That still only gives us 3 solid Pantera’s for SS and we really need 5 so I can get Paul to make up some Katch Environmental sponsor pocket t-shirts for us.   No Asa he ain’t buying polo shirts! LOL 😂

That leaves us Peter and Laurie....who should be updating us soo . we need those two slackers to get on the stick and get those Panteras done. Has it already been 10 or 15 years since they last made a race?
