Aromatherapy for racing withdrawal
 
I put some race gas in the lawn mower today just for the smell. Like Martha Stewart said "Its a good thing".

A couple of years ago I rode my Yamaha Zuma scooter from the track at Indy to the Kroger a few miles down the road. We were out of stuff and I was a bit desperate.

I was running some C11 in the scooter and needed every MPH possible to keep up with traffic even on the backroads. Was almost out of gas so I stopped and got regular unleaded. The regular unleaded was worth an additional 10 mph in my scooter. Must burn faster or something over the C11.

Wasn't too worried about the limited traffic and all (I did wear my race helmet). The only thing that bothered me each way was the thought of breaking down by the woman's prison. Not sure why, but that kinda unnerved me.

Today my Firbird is 53 and I have both heaters on and in a little while it will burn up some 110 on stands. AS far as going by a prison goes, when I was hauling fruit to Tropicana in Bradenton,I would either go by the Port Manatee Stockade or DeSoto Corr. Institute, in Arcadia and it was always hammer down. John Kissel K242

I have a 5 gallon jug of an assortment of fuels....

Q-15 which is an oxygenated blend fuel .....along with some C-14 VP I think and I use it in my yard equipment....

Most expensive lawn mower fuel there is....!!

Mower don't care, grass don't care...…..

Smells good.....runs good...

I started my racecar up Saturday and left the garage doors down, just so I could saver the aroma. May have to do it again if we don't get out soon!! Somebody said that the lead in racing gas could make me go blind but I'm only gonna' sniff it til' I need glasses.

I am also waiting for news about the National Open in Toronto.
Do you think it is going to happen if NHRA has all ready cancelled or put off 3 or 4 Lucas Oil races in the north east. I hope not because we were planing on running in Super Gas in all 3 National Opens this season. Let's keep are fingers crossed,and hope all 3 are a go.

Let me guess, instead of the women in that prison looking like Brooke Shields or Halle Berry, they may look more like Lori Fetrick, who played "ICE" on "The American Gladiators", or WWE & MMA star, Ronda Rousey! I thus don't blame you for being "kinda unnerved"...
