"Good Morning Drr" 11,000 strong and growing,stop in a say hello.
There are 4 major protests scheduled here in California for tomorrow. San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeless and San Diego. Our state is going broke and the people are rebelling against our governor that continues to tax business and people out of the state but takes tax dollars and gives them to illegal immigrants. People just want to go back to work.

Back out here with the cows. Durham tightened the noose some more. Must have face covered when out and they intend to enforce it. People dying and getting worse there. But it looks like some of the tracks are opening in May at least they say they are. Be safe

The weather went South of here other than pretty good rain. Spent yesterday painting shutters over since "painters" made a mess of them. Got some trees to trim and may pull the hedges in front of the garage out by the roots and be done with trimming them. Supposed to be 73 here today and clear blue sky. Wonder what the new normal will be? Everyone try to stay safe, especially us OLD people.

Came back to town yesterday afternoon. Gov got on TV last night and extended the lock down for another week. Don’t know what that means for tracks that were supposed to open before then on a limited basis. Piedmont not to have more than 10 people on the property at one time, what a deal. Going to stay here a couple of days then head back out to the country where it has been ok but now a chicken processing plant has got a bunch of people with the virus. 1000 employees each shift so no telling how many are out there in the community. That place is brand new, open less than a year. Weather has been all over the place here, 33 one night, 82 couple of days later and raining every couple of days. Floyd you and Nick take care and be safe

Came back out here to the country this afternoon. 1 1/2 hour ride but like going to a different country. Really! They are dying like flies it seems in Durham and 1/2 the license plate seem to be from NY, NJ, and a few from Conn now days. Don't blame them for getting out of there. Nick I have almost 2 ac of yard and it needed help today as we didn't mow it last week. I mowed till dark, about 8, came in and ate dinner. Was raining before we got done. Supposed to be warm and sunny here the next couple of days then back to rain. Floyd you get out every chance you get, enjoy the sunshine and Nick remember I lived there, 100 degrees ain't squat...Everyone be safe.

Came back to Durham Thur AM with race car in tow then went up north of Richmond, VA where we pulled transmission and converter. Sent converter out to be checked and getting trans refreshed. Came beck to Durham last night and will stay a couple of days. Darlington is having a race in 2 weeks as South Carolina has opened up everything it looks like for now. Lots of NY tags heading South on I-95???? Everyone be safe.

Good for South Carolina. We are having protests from one end of the state to the other to do the same thing. Our dictator governor wants us to stay shut down.
Don't get me started on politics. It'll make me start drinking earlier than normal
Y'all have a good day.

When are you planning to test/race the stocker? I know you said something about putting it on the dyno. How much C25 did you get?, that's pricey stuff.

Just 10 gallons for now prob get a drum. Because of my sponsor Ben, we were able to test a bunch of fuel for my motor a few years ago. I wore it out on the dyno! Headers, cams, carbs, valve settings, cold, hot and oils too. With his help I learned a bunch.

Every fuel had timing and fuel sweeps, same eng and oil temp.

I fired it up today, set the timing. Cooled it down and did a couple of stalls against the converter then a burnout to seat the rings. Plugs look great!
I was on the chip!!! It’s been 4+ expensive years but I am very pleased. Delivery
