[TPR] EVENT SHIRTS Re: 2019 Silver State Road Race Report

[DENNIS ANTENUCCI]

For what we can spend on that Ford Dealership I can get SSCC shirts made

 I think I have Bunny convinced to make our Pantera the SSCC car of the year in 2020 on shirts next year. 

Not sure what it will cost me yet but it’s got to get done. Waiting for “MARK” to send me digital photo of his car I can use to send to Bunny. 

Dawg, taking one for the team

And Asa (Master Chief mechanic immediately put on his work clothes and proceeded to repair all 4 trailer hubs and get some spare 10-ply trailer tires from Lance at the Goodyear shop which was a two day exercise but he was able to get all the parts he needed thereby saving GERRY hundreds of dollars. By the way Asa has been nominated for this year’s Iron Man Award....yea We are changing the rules again 😉

But Mark got all of that done and then we had a good time hanging with “Rookie Randy” 🤣 who was a good sport even when we forced him to go to the Green Lantern with us. 😉 partying with the Brazilian Girls since Laurie didn’t make it to Ely.

In fairness to GERRY he came closest to his goal speed average but as it turned out at the start line the race organizers got cars out of the wrong order and Gerry found himself behind a SLOW Car he thought better of passing but finding out later that driver was not in GERRY’s 125 Class but the slower 120 Class Group. Otherwise he could won, placed or shown.

But I know Mark will be back bigger and badder then ever before to break my 166 MPH average record to get his hands on the $10,000 dollars in prize money Asa holds in the TPR vault but forgot to bring this year.
