LOL, at first glance I thought the Lifeline and Brembo were extension parts to make a massive wing

I'm also letting my engineering side run wild. I had the chance to talk with a few gentlemen from Borgwarner about their turbos and the first guy I was talking to had to pull over one of their engineers to answer my questions haha. 

Turns out they are running a material called Gamma-Ti turbine for their wheels and shaft assemblies for better response and boost. For those who don't know that's an aircraft turbine material. Super sick.

Two of my motorsports faves, right there.  Real deal leaders with vision.

Look who I found and got lunch with. None other than long time GRM supporter and SAE legend Dean Case.

Awesome show this year, as always!!!  Met a lot of cool new people, ran into a lot of old friends, and got to sit-in on a small, short-notice meeting with new Trans-Am president Andy Lally on the future of the series.  Plus not one, but two flying cars, and my personal favorite, the Bentley!!!

The nightlife at PRI isn't anything to sneeze at. Here's a scene from The Drift Indy party last night. Note: I may be one of the few up at 6 a.m. after this.

Terry Fair's Trigger garners a crowd. No word if he's been naughty or nice this year though.
