I like that 3W, but I'd have to take that hood off.

You guys keep running these engines without putting a load on them and you'll be sorry.

Tony cannot wait for my KiWi L100 cam. I know my roadster will love it. I have another cam I need to be regrind to KiWi L100. Hope to see you April. Man after seeing those video can not wait to get my car on the road.

I see you made back home after all that partying at Daytona. Finish first and second is very good start to the race year. Now you need to get Bubba Wallace a win in Altanta, Ga.

Peace
