Straight ahead rollin'.
Just like a well-oiled Super Chief reaching perfect cruising speed without a rattle - just a roll.
Woodyard was no technical master, but MAN could the man drive - keeping it simple, chopping of the fat at the root for the churning.
This is what Groove Juice juice is made of & it definitely gets the highest regard of a Groove Juice Special: Slick rollin' with the ride & feel that sets fire to anything in the way.
Yeah, I'm diggin' HARD at this masterpiece. :)
