That is what you are in business for, to provide a motors to me... I really doubt that Tony Stewart builds his motors (PS> I did race Go-karts with him... most people bought the motors. In our case Comet Kart Sales, provide them to us all day long. While Tony ran in Juior class. I ran in the senior class.)
