Not going to make it tonight and maybe not tomorrow. My wife has not been feeling well at all and I've been trying to contact the track to let them know, but there is no answer.

Well my wife threatened me with divorce because she didn't want her not feeling well ruining the vacation, so I was able to make it to the meet and greet tonight and get to see some amazing scenery on the drive out there. Jimmy is a lucky guy for actually making that drive. I'm quite envious. Anyways, we should be able to make it tomorrow.

Good deal, I hope she's feeling better. You're going to have a blast tomorrow.

It was good driving in the same group with you Cole and a pleasure to meet you. My dad and I stayed in SLC at the Little America. Only 35 minutes from Miller and all the down town stuff right there. For the guys going for a second day, be sure to upgrade to a FR500S, that is one fun track toy!!

The Shelby collection is pretty cool. Went there about 7 yrs ago when we lived in Denver. Not sure if it's changed much, but you should enjoy it.

Got done with the awesomeness about 2 hours ago. It was time to decompress for a bit and I'm sure Jimmy will have his blog entry about this shortly. I think we'll have very similar sentiments. I'll add my .02 in a bit. But I will say this, you have a long leash if you want to utilize it, getting to go out on your own regardless of skill level and experience. Awesome time and hats off to the instructors and Ford for putting this together.

Does Ford still send a rep from the engineering team to the dinner thing? I believe they did that at the beginning but havent heard mention of it in a while?

They didn't do that for our class dinner two days ago. However, they gave us the phone numbers of two Boss engineers so we can wake them up in the middle of the night and ask them questions about rear brakes, clutches, and such.

I only caught the last name of the lead instructor Cindi Lux. The other instructors were Jon, Bob, Mark, and Ronnie.

Also, the driving gloves are back in stock!

I have to say that that one one of the coolest experiences ever. I enjoyed it immensely, certainly the heel and toe exercises were worth their weight in gold. Ford has been great to us by putting this together, and it was really cool to get to meet a group of fellow Boss owners.

It was great getting to thrash around a LS car. Man, do I ever want those dash gauges.

Also, I really missed my MGW. Missed the 3-4 coming down the front straight a few times.

I got to meet PTRocks, who is a great guy. We all own him a thank you for his service in keeping the registry.

Looking good. Ford has done a terrific job with BTA and anyone on the fence needs to get out to Utah for some serious fun.
