[{"type":"text","content":"Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PRRY) company CEO Andrew Lapp and company President Galen Reich packed-up and attended this past weekends’ Spring 6x6 Rally held at Pine Lake Raceway near Ashtabula, Ohio.Pine Lake Raceway holds the self-proclaimed distinction of being the oldest ATV racetrack in the U.S., with 6x6 events beginning circa 1969.Well over 100 vintage and current production 6x6 vehicles are estimated to have been in attendance, with many of the heavily modified and custom-built racing 6-wheelers destined solely for the on-site dirt racetrack.In addition to the dirt track racing, several informal trail rides were organized over the four-day event, with several nighttime rides providing a dramatic scene as dozens of lighted 6-wheelers piloted by spirited drivers wound their way in a swift-moving column through the expansive network of challenging trails throughout the adjacent wooded area.
