    Stands for "Racin' Red Roberts" which I sure was glad to hear 'cause my old handle was Paper Towel. Running the roads in the 70's & 80's when everybody had a CB nobody would ever answer me unless I told 'em I was "Paper Towel".
    ..Wa at the old track on the river banks in Oklahoma City in '76. Sandy - Wind blowing and I'd stuck a paper towel in the carburetor of my fuel harley to keep the dust out. Forgot about it. lit it off and it idled fine - got to the water and hit it for the burnout - it goes whoop - dies - I get back to the pits and with a crowd around it I pull out a spark plug that strings paper out of it when it comes out. Took about 2 years before the Okies let up on me... Durn sure to be called tripler.
    ...I run motorcycle races and help a buddy of mine that's got Little River Dragway in Temple Texas - that's why I'm here and that's what I do - See ya'all at the track!!!!!
