That's good idea thanks for the tip, I will be doing that.
I watch the pit guys huck 40's around during the races and can't imagine doing that for fun.

Most those dudes are young studs that haven’t had their first hernia surgery yet. I’m the same age as you, and some days also feel 60

Looking forward to seeing this truck soon!
