Damn Pure Platinum was a beat before. I can only imagine now.

Crazy to think we can do 1600hp motors these days on PUMP gas..... I love it.

Tommy and his crew did a great job for us, the night before the poker run, we had a seapump go out, he sent his guys over to our hotel and workded on it til midnight to make sure we were ready to go the next morning, not many poeple would do that, Tommy is #1!!!
