Rufus

I'm like, "Well, it is what it is.

I'm here, you know, so I'm, I'm riding." And I ran out of fuel one mile from Rufus.

[laughs]

And Rufus has a Sinclair.

Yep.

And the reason why I know that it's one mile-

So I, I pushed it-

[laughs] Oh

Well, as USTRC was starting to gain stride in the 90s, this is the first time where we've seen a more strategic way of trying to find guys and what their ability number is.

When I first remembered it up there in Rufus, Oregon, because that's where I was from, that one was a big one.

That was guys coming in from California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, all over the place.

And it was new and it really took off.

The Equibrand group, when they owned USTRC, they had to deal with that, and that's why they built the algorithms and the stat-driven deal.

The most important part of the whole thing to me is, was the fact that state lines were tore down.

You could go from Rufus, Oregon to Phoenix, Arizona, and you could compete.

Or you could go to Cheyenne, or you could go to Texas, and the Texans could go anywhere.
