    I just got back from a fun filled weekend at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca. I drove my Maverick round trip of almost a 1000 miles with the Boss 302 Registry guys. The Maverick didn't miss a beat & ran flawlessly. I can't say the same of all of the Boss 302s. Four of us drove up North & met the Northern Cal BoyZ... Here's a few pics for your enjoyment. The first picture depicts one of the Boss 302s losing the power steering ram off of the frame mount.

    The 1967 Mustang NHRA champion & record holder. It was hard to get a good pic, as the tent was very crowded.
