[N197TR4 at cs.com]

egads! three TRs in one race!

does this mean he gets to put three TR images on the side of his car like on fighter planes....?

i hope he does so i can leave the track asap.

i dont suppose this is the same guy that put BDI on his lid?

>Hats off to Leo Oddi who was screaming on track all weekend flirting

>Welcome aboard, Leo!

>Richmond Triumph Register faithful Chip Collingswood brought his period

>Until next time...
