Congrats on having attended what must be a super event. The rest of us have to sign up. And a special thanks to Ford for making this all possible: Bringing back the Boss 302 - Another Better Idea from Ford!

Warren, thanks for the great review. How was the food at the dinner and were there any Ford reps present to discuss the development of the Boss? Any other SWAG? I'm all set for August 31st.

Yes, there was other swag:
- a pair of G-Force racing gloves
- t-shirt with the Boss Track Attack logo on the front and back
- small spiral bound notepad with assorted Ford Racing pics on the covers
- assortment of stickers (Track Attack, MMP, Performance Friction)
- MMP license plate frame

The food at the dinner reception was good also. Rolls, salad, corn, green beans, really tender beef, watermelon, cookies. Unfortunately, there were no Ford reps there. I was hoping there would be...

For those planning on going, I also suggest staying closer to the track if you don't plan on doing anything in Salt Lake City and want to save yourself the extra trip(s) to and from SLC for the evening reception and Day 2 (if you do both days). It's 30 minutes each way, and I did notice a number of police cars during my trips to and from the track.

Wonderful write-up, and quite accurate from my perspective as the guy who is selling this stuff. I responded to another thread regarding advanced driving techniques...you are correct in pointing out the second day will be where guys will really pick this up. Like all other schools I've attended day one teaches fundamentals and day two cements them with continuous lapping. Even better if you have a friend to drive against! I'm jealous of y'all...what a great car, and kudos to Ford for allowing MMP to be a part of it.

They are aware of the overheating issue and are doing what they can to deal with it (hence the grill, radiator and removal of the a/c condenser). I think that's why they are also keeping 2 spare Bosses available.

overheating
One car did have some issues (possibly overheating) at one point during the class, but I don't know what really happened since I was not involved.

just a added note it was in the mid 90's and with the mile high altitude was not the greatest conditions, you don't need to shift the boss on this track, ran it pretty hard in third gear for quite a few laps and no issues, then they asked me to use 4th so I would not be spinning the motor at such sustained high rpm, 4th was no problem though on this track, plenty of torque off the corners

Do the MMP cars have the upgraded radiator and the 302S grill installed?
