On This Day

 

The very first “Strictly Stock” race took place at Charlotte Speedway, June 19, 1949, in a 150-mile race on the three-quarter mile speedway, which was located about 20 minutes down I-85 from the current Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Bill France decided to make the move in 1949 to outlaw the “modifieds” and run strictly stock cars so that fans could relate to the cars and drivers.

Most of the cars were driven to the track and it was set to have the fastest 33 drivers enter the race, an ode to the Indianapolis 500 field.

The track was mainly in a residential area. There were lots of complaints about the noise and the dust in the neighborhood,” Overton Jr. said. “There was an overflow crowd, so we found a weeping willow tree on a high bank over turn three. There was just a board fence around the track in those days. So we watched the race and ate dirt from up there, and that was my first real NASCAR exposure.”

And so you have it, on this day, 68yrs. ago..........It is said Petty, made his start!

President Elect Donald Trump

ELECTION DAY

The day has arrived, for the next Presidential election, to decide our nation's fate.  It is with regret for many that we only have two options to choose from.  Hillary or Trump, are not what we want to elect, but there's not much left to go with.
Therefore, it is one or the other, and God help us on both........It's a scary situation, when you consider the backgrounds of these two people.  I just don't know what we as American's are going to do?

Lights

It's come to my attention, that  Warehouse Lighting  is very important to the businesses, who need to store products and equipment.  When choosing items for certain jobs, or orders they need proper lighting, to see the product unit numbers and information.
To shop for good lighting, click on the above link in this post and see all the different lights, you can purchase.

Rioting?

When you look at what's going on in this country these days, it makes you worry what will happen next?  All the rioting, is not changing what has happened or is happening, whether it be racial, or downright hatred.  No one is perfect, and it on takes a split second for anyone's life to be changed.  One wrong move, word or look, can start a war in any circle of people.  It's a mess and I'm worried this president we have will declare martial law, and cause a real problem.  That's something none of us want to see, believe me!

Imagine!

The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US .

I'm Waiting..........

If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers. 

No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches. 

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. 

Logano Takes The 500

And the winner is..........Joey Logano

 

Just as the flag came out a wreck happened, which may have been a factor in the race.  The driver's knew there had been a wreck and were looking for the "caution flag", but nay........it didn't happen.  I overheard the pit crew telling them to stay on the gas, which Logano did, going in for the win......

 

Here he is climbing out of his car in the winner's circle after his "burnout".

 

Here on top of his car,  the camera caught some of his drink he was throwing in the crowd for celebration.  Congrats Joey on a great win!

Tri-Fuel Conversion Kits

I noticed where the snow had covered up many areas in New York.  I'm sure it must be horrible to be in such a disaster and be unable to move around as usual.  It's possible that these poor people will be stuck several days or even weeks with the weather problem.
Staying warm is a major concern, when dealing with a blizzard of this nature.  The new reports told of how a few unfortunate people have lost their lives during this winter storm.  Being buried alive in your cars is a bad thing.  I saw where the snow was as tall as a 6ft. man and that's a huge storm.  They were expecting more snow in the next two or three days after this one hit.
Homes, need to have access to heating facilities which can be converted during certain outages like this.  As you know, the EPA is strict on emissions and the need to control the output of certain gas emissions.  During your time of being snowed in, you need to have  tri-fuel portable generators   that can be adapted to the type of fuel you have access to.  They say that you can even use a BBQ propane tank to fuel these kits.  That's very convenient I would say, and something you could grab in a hurry.
There's a website where you can get information about this type of generator kit.  The  century fuel products  gives you information to handle the conversion of these generators to other types of fuel.  They offer a step by step information list which tells you what you need to install the  tri-fuel conversion kits   to you generator.  They explain the correct way and tools needed for the conversion.  I'm sure there are many up in New York and surrounding areas that could use this valuable information.  For prices, brands and shipping click on the links in this post and research their products.

She's a Pain

What this cat won't try isn't in the book.  It's trying to play with the bottle and you know what type it is.  I saw it dashing around outside after birds and ending up high in a tree.  All the yowling you could hear came off, when she decided that she was too high to come down.  Well, she finally made her way down the tree, only to jump on the window and start screaming to come inside.  When she got her way, she came in, smelled of her food and was ready to go back outside.  Darn Cat!

Another Plane Crash

Flight MH370 was reported missing from radar early Saturday, by Malaysia air traffic control.  Search teams have spotted 2 oil slicks located in the waters off the southern tip of Vietnam in the South China Sea.  So far hopes of finding survivors faded as night fell and more than 20 hours passed since the plane disappeared.
There was no "mayday" signal sent and the aircraft just vanished off radar in what seemed to be good weather.
