[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-20

Although the big gun Asians were the only energetic TP's once again this morning the session did at least have more drama than yesterday, with the low band Asians receiving a sharp daybreak boost to rise from nothing up to pretty decent levels. The final result was more variety than yesterday, w
