He'll be arriving to the SORC on August 5. That's only three <br>weeks away. So this is a reminder to all our intrepid Pantera pilots <br>running very soon.<br><br>Grab your checklist and make sure you are ready to go.<br>- Check the expiration dates on your Harnesses<br>- Check the date codes on your tires<br>- Check your fire extinguisher<br>- Check for leaks<br>- Check your throttle return springs<br>- Check your personal gear (helmet, suit, gloves, etc.)<br><br>For those doing SSCC we'll start going over the list bit by bit in the <br>coming days, so get ready.<br><br>For those doing SORC, now's the time to bone up on the last minute <br>items, double-check everything and then have your neighbor check it for <br>you -again-. We want a safe run for everyone.<br><br>Rowdy, great job getting the folks motivated. Please, just don't wear <br>out the Brazilian girls before we can have them for Silver State. Did <br>Franky get his Pantera ready this year?<br><br>Dawg, you better make sure your body/paint man gets ItBeWild done on <br>time. How's Russ coming along with the engine inspection and refresh?<br><br>JB, yea... well... trying to keep a cap on that much estrogen in the <br>house is tough... so maybe this year you navigate for me instead. If <br>my car blows up, then we're even. ;) Otherwise let's get Erik and <br>others on-board to get you back in the race this year.<br><br>Everybody else, just make it happen; get it together and bring your <br>Pantera to SSCC this year. It won't be much longer and you might not <br>find a Pantera at these events anymore, so do it while you can.<br><br>Besides, there might be a $10,000 prize purse this year. Yea... maybe <br>the SAME prize purse that's gone UNCLAIMED in the last SEVEN years. <br>Nobody's had the balls to beat the challenge previously but I'd say of <br>anyone, Mark has the best shot at it this year. If Mark can average 160 <br>MPH and finish the course, and Mad Dog drives slower... the $10K is <br>his. How's that for some motivation?<br><br>As for the rest of us, we need to do some serious fund raising.<br><br>Thanks to Mad Dog, we again have sponsorship from Katch Environmental. <br> From my end I've started a GoFundMe page specifically to get -me- to <br>SSCC this year. I set a pretty lofty goal but then again I have a <br>motive to donate half the funds raised to the ISAAC Foundation, a local <br>charity that provides funding for Autism Therapies in the Spokane area, <br>and maybe help out the rest of the team too. You can find the GoFundMe <br>page here:<br><a href="http://www.gofundme.com/yg84msc" target="_blank">http://www.gofundme.com/yg84msc</a><br><br>Pass it along via your facebook and twitter accounts (that is if any of <br>us have one of those things).<br><br>Alright, for now keep the shiny side up and look out for more reminders.<br>Asa Jay<br><the guy that somehow got elected president this year><br>:)<br><br>-- <br>Asa Jay Laughton - W7TSC, MSgt, USAFR, Retired<br>& Shelley Marie<br>Spokane, WA<br>******************************<br><a href="http://www.racingagainstautism.com/" target="_blank">http://www.racingagainstautism.com</a><br><a href="http://www.teampanteraracing.com/" target="_blank">http://www.teampanteraracing.com</a><br><a href="http://facebook.com/racingagainstautism" target="_blank">http://facebook.com/racingagainstautism</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TPR mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:TPR@teampanteraracing.com" href="mailto:TPR@teampanteraracing.com">TPR@teampanteraracing.com</a><br><a href="http://teampanteraracing.com/mailman/listinfo/tpr_teampanteraracing.com" target="_blank">http://teampanteraracing.com/mailman/listinfo/tpr_teampanteraracing.com</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>TPR mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:TPR@teampanteraracing.com">TPR@teampanteraracing.com</a></span><br><span><a href="http://teampanteraracing.com/mailman/listinfo/tpr_teampanteraracing.com">http://teampanteraracing.com/mailman/listinfo/tpr_teampanteraracing.com</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
