At the Camping World 300 they had some real problems in the pit that put him 3 laps down. He reportedly was running qualifying speeds near the end of the race.
I'm not sure of details from the California Stater Bros. 300 but, I think he started 31st and finished 26th. He's keeping the car in one piece and making a decent show of it so far.
I'm becoming a NASCAR fan.
U
Man, this board goes quiet over the weekend! Down right dead. Can we liven it up a bit? Get warmed up...........
U
Must be gettin' close now...... DEERFIELD BEACH, FL--Jan 2, 2008 -- CHDT Corp., a Florida corporation, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Capstone Industries, Inc. (Capstone), has received its second STP order from a national automotive retailer with 1300 stores. The order consists of both tools and automotive accessories which are two product categories of distribution within the STP® program. Last November the company launched a line of over 35 STP® branded tools and automotive accessories and received its first order from a regional retailer in December. Both orders are scheduled to ship in the first Quarter of 2008.
U
Worth repeating: To quote Howard, "....it is a computer peripheral device" and "....there is nothing else like it on the market today".
U
Wow, I was feeling frisky last night! Today? Ditto!!!
U
When STP Tools hit the shelves, I'm gonna buy 'em all. Two of each! I'm gonna take 'em home and I'm gonna un wrap 'em and I'm gonna put 'em on the floor and I'm gonna get down and just roll all up in 'em 'til I get tired! I might even do some drillin'.
Then, I'm gonna take some $100 bills and stick 'em in my ears and then throw 'em in the fire. If that aint enough, I'm gonna run all 'round the house real fast and hoot and holler till the neighbors wonder! Then I'll ring their door bell and run away.
It'll be soon. In a few months. Oh boy! Can't wait!
Whew! Do I sound excited? Heck yes! Oh, heck yes!!! Oh, heeeeecccckk yes!!!! I got goose bumps!!!!
U
PP, I don't know the definition of "soon" in this context. But, I have some time. CHDO will succeed in good time. My goal is retirement in less than 2 years. Join me if you will. CHDO is a key element in my plan. I will not fail.
U
To quote Howard, "....it is a computer peripheral device" and "....there is nothing else like it on the market today". Doesn't sound like an MP3 player to me.
U
SL,
Once again I agree, generally. I think a string of more concrete news such as financing, tools on shelves, tool sales, new accounts, new products, more products on shelves, more product sales, etc. will begin to move this thing even before the first positive revenue announcements come over the wire. The positive revenue announcements will launch the rocket.
I have learned a lot, through my visit with Howard and gang and through other DD. This is a huge and complex undertaking as you state. But, one I am confident (and I think you are too) will be hugely successful in relative terms for us as investors. In the mean time I am chillaxing and enjoying monitoring the board and posting once in a whlie.
U
Too funny! As we all have been prepared for, this may take a while. And, that's ok.
U
The Float has changed in Yahoo just since late last week I think. What's up with that?
U
Anything different there?

U
I dunno, elp. Too much deduced from too little. I bought on the low Friday. I let you know how I do.
U
Ready to launch!!!!!!!
Let's go!
When will he announce the list . . . ?
When will they be on the shelves? That my little piggy friend is one of the million dollar questions. And, I don't think the answer is far off.
U
Cool!
One of the drills comes in a "Collectable Decorator Canister" (a really nice can) that is cool and unique and I think will be a novelty hit. I think it is the one on the second shelf down and on the left.
U
From djkennington.com
“I am really speechless at the moment. For STP Tools and the MacDonald family, and all we have went through, I could only hope they we have made them proud. We just don’t want to be in the race, we want to compete. Our STP Tools Dodge is stout and we look forward to the race on Saturday.”
U
I'm doing my part
SL, Yes, I have followed your forecasts and posts in general very closely and, as I have previously stated, you generally have shown wisdom. I as an investor, without doubt, and like you, believe that we have a real tiger by the tail here. I continue to accumulate at these prices. I also previously mentioned that my wife is accumulating also.
U
All so very true.
Yes, I know. This thing is a potential powder keg ready to blow! Any number of news items can light the fuse. PPS for any specific time period is anyone's guess. I do feel though, that by Q3 we will be in the serious more constant, more steady increases.
U
On a string of significant news, we might spike over $0.059 in March. I don't think it will hold there and above until sometime in Q3.
U
Agreed.
SL,
I did ask about Simply Comfort (I think it was you that suggested that I ask that question) and, coincidentally, they had just received the first order. I believe it was explained such that there was delay in the production of packaging that has delayed orders thus far.
U
SL,
The home offices are housed in an office complex. I think that they had 1/4 of the building - like in a 4 plex type arrangement. Don't quote me on that but, you get the general idea. I was actually a little suprised at how nice and "upscale" the complex and area was. I didn't see any warehouse nor did I ask to see one nor did I ask to see inventory.
Are you expecting that CHDT Corp does/will have a warehouse?
U
FAQ: How can I purchase STP tools products?
STP tools products will be shipping to retailers nationwide beginning December, 2007. As the products are available to consumers, a list of retailers will be made available on www.stptools.com.
So ok, let's go. Get 'em on the shelves!
Agreed.
I just listened too. Yes, much better than the transcript.
U
Yes, Howard wants the uplist. So do we.
But, of course, at the right time. He and I discussed the details of possible uplist situations in some detail. Share price is key. But it must be coupled with momentum of earnings and profit growth. It will be done right when the opportunity presents itself.
U
This interview is a primer for something much bigger to come very soon. Nothing new was said here. I feel that this was meant to be a recap, if you will, or a foundation for bigger news to come soon.
What will it be first? I can't wait!
Howard talked about the new device during our visit and he is extremely excited about it.
"We have developed a great new product that will launch in the first Quarter of this year and we look forward to this sub immediately contributing revenues to our company."

Don't forget that some of the STP Tools are specifically targeted to the female houshold user. And, I've seen these tools and held them and the women will love them!
U
Yes, this exposure ig big stuff in many ways.
U
With NASCAR fans as the focus demographic, there won't be much need for high cost "national" advertising campaigns. This is great for the bottom line!
U
Forget football and Super Bowl!!!
Not specifically related to STP but, you be the judge.....

Why NASCAR Sponsorship?
• Being able to use NASCAR and the #1 driver on your advertising literature will give you a tremendous amount of clout in your industry.
• NASCAR more than any other sport creates a tremendous amount of emotion for the fans and it's sponsors. It is impossible to attend a race without being overwhelmed.
• NASCAR fans are very aware of who sponsors their sport. Second, they have a strong tendency to purchase the products of sponsoring companies. There is an extraordinary level of awareness. (Performance Research RaceStat)
• The NASCAR fan also has a higher level of trust toward race sponsor's products. The emotional bond between the NASCAR fan and sponsor is unlike any other sport in the world.
• The growth potential is huge. NASCAR Online generates 22 million hits among 500,000 different users each week.
• The France family philosophy is built on integrity. With all the abuses in professional sports today, NASCAR and the drivers don't distance themselves from the fans. They are more accessible than any other sport. They have not lost their humble beginnings.
PP, everyone will, can, or try to do to the best of their ability what they feel is right. I am in this in a big way both mentally and monetarily. Success in the stock market is not to be right but, to make money. We'll all make some money if we stick it out with CHDO.
U
PP, yes Howard is great about email replies to our questions. Hopefully we'll all use common sense and discretion when emailing him or other staff.
I am currently sitting at 1.45MM shares. My new target is 2MM.
U
Are you referring to the brochures? If so, yes they are very professional. Maybe, if you ask, they would send you some in the mail.
