Hello, at Western Speed Park, we are proud to announce some great steps in the right direction. We have had an unbelievable amount of help along the way assist...ing us to get to this stage. Thanks to each and every one of you. Our business plan has been completed. Yesterday, this was handed to The Town of Stephenville's Town Council, where 6 representatives of the Western Speed park council attended the public council meeting. The members of the town welcomed us with open arms and are very proud of the work we have done. They are also excited for our upcoming efforts to make Carolina Avenue - "The Ramp" in western Newfoundland bigger and better than ever before. We can work hand in hand with the entire western district as we strive to reimagine this Raceway. Our official website is currently under development as well as our official Facebook page. Our current Facebook group is, and will continue to be for the racing community to speak as they like. We are in the works of researching the BEST way to resurface the track. We want longevity and to have professional grade materials. We need the two drag racing lanes to be up to professional quality and standards. We have been in contact with many Speedways, contracting companies, engineers and sales consultants to make sure we have the PERFECT products to suit our needs. All of the needed information will come as we continue our research and reaching out to related parties. Just because the racing has stopped does not mean the work has stopped. From Western Speed Park, we are very happy to keep everybody up to date and look forward to a great 2021 season.

A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE: A customer asked a contractor friend of mine how much it would cost to do this project. My friend gave him a proposal: $4...500 The customer responded: That’s seems really high. My friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job? The customer answered: $2500 maximum My friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself. The customer answered: I don't know how to. My friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future. The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it! My friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc.. The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job. My friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project. The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair. My friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday. The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends. My friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work. The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time! My friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors. The customer answered: What do you mean by that? My friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am. The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am! My friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site. The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project. CONCLUSION: When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for: Knowledge Experience Custom Skills Tools Time to plan Time to prepare Professionalism Work Ethic Excellence Discipline Commitment Integrity Taxes Licenses Sacrifices Liabilities Insurance If you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices. If their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals. Just remember.. you get what you pay for. SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it. CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it. Sharing this to support all my friends, family and clients who are Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Tradesman.

How to remove a stud if you don’t have one of those awesome stud removers. While it’s awesome to have the right tool, I’ve actually never owned a stud removal t...ool(insert dad joke here). All you need is wrenches and 2 nuts if the same thread pitch and size. Tighten together and loosen the stud. I was going to share this with you guys at SEMA, but we all know how that turned out. The WD-40 iconic blue and yellow can with a red cap, will identify the Specialist product line faster. And I think it looks way better now. https://amzn.to/3prp0RM #WD40partner #SixDaysofSpecialist #WD40Specialist #SuperiorPerformance #BornFromRocketScience
