Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

Yes i did Warpspeed, I am sure Larson was thinking i appreciate that boys LOL, and then used that HMS Engine to make a gap . Mark H.

Thank you sir, but that really is surprising to me. Seems like an IROC in the Craftsman Truck Series ?

Warpspeed, are you saying that the Trucks representing Ford and Toyota are LS based Engines ?? The Only reason i ask is because you used the word
" All " . Mark H.

Thoughts and Prayers to Ron's wife and the rest of the Iskenderian family . Ron was a super nice person to call and talk with and was always there for you .

Merry Christmas to all of you Engine lovers, and hope you have a safe and healthy 2024 !!
