      I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for that drive.. I kinda wonder if there'll be a Steve Morris engine in one of Cleetus's cars soon. I keep trying to design a car around one of his BBCs, because they're awesome.

      Kevin can most likely build whatever ol' Cleet wants. It's still gotta be dialed in and I'm ready to see it whenever he is. I gotta say though, it's still so very impressive to see a dependable "daily driver" running in 7's or 6's!
