Michael, Roberts Park is running 3R for the last few weeks. Tom 3R is a 2008 Chassis. Built late 2007, but its a 2008 model as Ford starts production in June for the next year. If you look up the model years you will see that design ran from 2008-2010. I know there were issues with 32 (reasons why it got rechassised in 2013) Not 100% sure if that’s the reason of this sale. I’ll find out in the coming days if there is a new unit on the way.

Maybe it’s mileage or other wear and tear as to the reason for the sale, but 3R is a 2007 and 3R2 is a 2002 (also a F-350), making them older. Are they looking for just the money where 3R or 3R2 is the new frontline? Or, are they looking to put proceeds toward a new unit?
Although it’s generally out of station 2, Tri-State ought to pitch in for a new unit for the number of times RP is called upon.
(Meeting minutes aren’t updated on their site to tell what the plan is.)
