I never knew I could have so much fun without a car, but the bonspeed bash was crazy fun. I only wish everyone from the site could have attended! Below is a photo of the winners Tony, Mark and their wives with Larry and his wife. Oh yeah, also in the photo is me Brad Fanshaw, Michael Anthony (bonspeed co-owner and Van Halen founding member) and Larry Dixon the bonspeed sponsored 2-time world champion top fuel driver!

Let me tell you the Pro-Touring winners came to party, but of course they are car guys. The bash was full of car guys like Frank from Prodigy, David and Howard from Newstalgia, Scott from BuildBook, Rob the editor of Hot Rod and builders like Troy Trepanier, Steve Strope, Bobby Alloway, Jesse Greening, Tim Strange, Rick Dore and many other celebs and notable car guys.

I'll post more photos from the 2008 bonspeed Bash later this week!

I was there, great party, Bob Johnson and Doug Cooper made it too, even though Bob forgot to RSVP and got his hand slapped.

Bill it was great to me you and everyone else who I saw that night. By the way Bob did not forget to RSVP he said he wasn't coming...but I sure was happy that he made it! Plus if we can't give Johnson a little trouble who can we give it too...lol!

LOL, He told me to let everyone know that he was coming when I got there, but by the time I got there, he was already inside.
Oh yeah, he is an easy mark for sure, and knows everyone everywhere.
This was one of the highlights of the week for me, to see everyone and all. Thanks again for the invite.:worship:
