More of my pics, from Sat and Sun

BMO parking area Sat about 930 AM. At this point I was thinking not even the paramedics could bring this day back to life.

I went to visit Steve for a quick intro, the garage area was busy, and about the only place to keep dry. Good to meet you.

Sunday was much better weather. It was a short day as most were doing their parade lap and leaving.

How fast did the non supercharged Boss' hit on the speedway section of the track?

Not sure what the top speed was, but there was a speed limit at this event (even for the race cars). I passed it occasionally ( ::)) but I also lifted quite a bit before the brake zones because of it.

Like a Boss!
I was able to hit 150 mphduring the afternoon laps. I would enter turn 3-4 at about 135 mph and slow to about 125 mph during the turn. Caught myself maintaining 130 during the turn once but it was too intense. Keep in mind my car is 100% stock suspension, but I've got about 60 more HP than stock and I run road race slicks (square) and carbotech XP12 pads up front. So I was keeping up pretty darn good even with the "race cars".
 
it was great to meet all the bmo members who attended

the more parking worked out good

a few of us got together for dinner at twin peaks

several of us made the world record cruise

the birthday party was a nice event, got to meet a few ford celebs

i will be posting up more pictures from the events
 
Hard to believe this was a year ago. Good times for sure.
