I got to Springfield on Sunday night and stayed in the Wal-Mart parking lot till Monday evening. When I went into the Wal-Mart to get some groceries and when I came out the Big Blue truck was on the hook of a wrecker that was going to toe it away. Me and my shopping cart made it across the lot in record time to stop them. The wrecker guy was happy as he did not want to pull such a nice truck but said there was a $150 fee for showing up. I talked with the manager of the Wal-Mart and he said they announced it over the intercom but I did not hear it. He ended up taking care of it and I moved to a different location.
The guy that almost towed the Big Blue Truck, me and his kids.
Tammy and me
I moved into the fairground on Thursday and setup for the weekend. Tammy and Paul came in on Friday evening and were a great help for the weekend. 
The line for me - a few may have also been there to see Chip Foose as well ;-)
The Magnaflow guys next to me had Chip Foose in to sign autographs on Sunday and there was a long line there all day. When I started up the 104+ mower Chip remembered it from the Hot Rod Power tour and said it sounded great not like a lawn mower.
Two big STA-BIL brand supporters
Paul working up a sweat. He and Tammy helped me tear down in record time - 45 min. (Sorry Kevin and Marcel!)
- I got many comments about it is time to use the STA-BIL brand for storage this winter.
- I told everyone that it would be good to run STA-BIL before they store their unit as it will help clean their system before storage.
- We talked about using STA-BIL year round and many said they were already doing that.
- I had a few guys and girls that said they had never used a stabilizer but was concerned about their fuel and was going to look at using STA-BIL in their motorcycles and lawn mowers.
- A boat owner said he uses STA-BIL in his boat but did not know about the Marine Formula and said he would start using it now.
- Several were interested in the STA-BIL for Diesels and that they would try it in their trucks, mowers, and tractors.
- A customer said he was having a rack and pinion leak so I gave him a bottle of the NO LEAK brand Power steering fluid to try.
- A high performance truck owner said he needed high octane but he can only find 91 octane here in Springfield and will the 104+ Octane Boost brand help with his problem.
- The owner of a jet ski said the START Your Engines! brand would be great to try as the ski has been sitting for a year.
- Some small engine mechanics was also interested in using START Your Engines!
A very nice weekend with a large crowd and a lot of nice cars & truck. A very good show!
Until next time.
