Could only race every other weekend if the weather was good. Most weekends off it wasn't good!! I drive 48 miles one way and the winter has been brutal. An opening in drying operations came up in a plant 13 miles from home. So after the testing,I took it!! This plant runs 24/7 until the summer months and then weekends off!! So...It is possible that the old 64 may finish pretty high in points at CFR this year!! Like good ol buddy Wes used to say...Boys....I am coming and Hells coming with me!! I am pumped!! Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

Is it related to the dairy industry? Very happy for you. Yes it is...The machines I run process about 84000# of whole milk per hour. We dry condensed skim which translates to around 8500# an hour of dried product. The plant I am going to makes coffee creamer. I sure hope Blue Boy uses it!! I sure hope if time permts,I can get another top ten in Pro E.T.!! Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!
