Re: Member Introductions
Mark, welcome to BMO. Be sure to post photos of your Boss in the 2013 photo thread.mardis said:I would like to take a moment and introduce myself, name is Mark and I reside in southern Wisconsin. My wife Dianna and I have three lovely children, daughter Hannah, and two boys Wyatt, and Noah. We are fortunate enough to live 2 miles north of Blackhawk Farms Raceway, and about 4 hours south of Road America, in Elkhart Lake, WI. I am hoping the Boss gets a bit dirty this year!
I am a machinsit by trade and have held my Journeyman's card since 1991. I currently oversee all machining operations for our company. We are an OEM manufacturer of machine tools for the printing, packaging, and converting industries.
I have owned a Mustang in one form or another since I was 16. For the past 6 years I have been very active in the Saleen Mustang community. Having owned 4 during that time. I sold our 2002 Supercharged S281 Saleen convertible back in November of last year to help eleviate some of the pain in purchasing our 2013 SBY street Boss. Man, what a Hot Rod! Best decision I have ever made. Have zero track experience save for a touring event at BFR in our Saleen days, so this year we are diving in head first. Just finished reading "Winning", the racing chronicles of Paul Newman by Matt Stone, and figured if Paul never climbed into a car until he was 47, I can do it at 45! First track day is set for June after we return from Carlisle and get the TracKey installed.
Been lurking here for some time, and thought it was time to join this fine group of enthusiasts. Look forward to visiting more often, and eventually meeting some of you fine folks.
Thank you for your time.
