[TPR] Asa & Randy Report

[Owen Lee Green]

Well Dawg my twisted mind never slows down. Like SSCC getting a fuel
sponsorship that would allow an allotment for all the racers and then
expand the races to 151 and 175 . The rest area would be a fuel pit for a
10 gallon gas and go. Everyone pulls in and could finish the run all the
way back across the White Pine county line.
