What's New at bo-mar

Sticking to the car theme, here’s an old picture of Bobby and Mark playing with their race car track in their parents’ living room (circa 1964).  Their love for cars has only grown since then, and they’re still just as competitive! On a side note, how cool are those lamps in the background?!    

Last weekend marked the beginning of NHRA’s new season of drag racing, and three of us were there for all the action!  bo-mar’s Vice President Mark, his daughter Kelly, and laser operator David all made the trip to Pomona, California last week for the Winternationals.  This is a trip that Mark and David have made…

In honor of the new NHRA racing season starting this weekend, here’s a picture of Mark and his daughter in the Buchanan Brothers dragster (circa 1989).  It’s no wonder she loves drag racing so much!

Who would have ever thought Indianapolis would host a Superbowl?! This is by no means a diss on our city, but spending a week, or even just a weekend, of February in Indiana couldn’t sound very appealing to the rest of the country.  Luckily, we showed America just how capable we are of hosting the…

In honor of Superbowl XLVI being in Indianapolis this weekend, we wanted to post some football pictures!  Unfortunately, we only have one for now.  Here is a picture of a much younger Mark with his football team.  Can you spot him? Enjoy the big game on Sunday!!

Last month, Bo spent about five days over in England to promote bo-mar’s business within the motorsports sector.  We asked him for a summary of his trip.  He gave us a day-by-day recount of his time there.  Enjoy!   Day 1: We had a five hour layover in Newark, New Jersey.  Scott Stranko (Bishop Steering),…

A few years back, Mark received a call from a long-time friend and former co-worker at Freightliner.  His friend, Stacy, had a job proposition for Mark.  Stacy’s wife was a volunteer at the Indianapolis Zoo, and the zoo staff was looking for a way to accurately weigh their rhinos.  Together, Mark and Stacy developed a…

Last year, bo-mar fabricated hundreds of lighting fixtures for the Indiana Convention Center.  You can catch a glimpse of the lights on today’s cover of the Indianapolis Star!  

Did you know we used to have a “shop cat” at bo-mar?  Back in the mid-2000′s, we found a stray cat hanging out around our shop.  When the weather was nice, she would end up coming in through the open doors out back.  Liking the idea of having a great mouse-hunter at the shop, we…

As we briefly mentioned in a facebook photo gallery, each year bo-mar employees chip in some cash to get Christmas gifts for Bo and Mark.  In 2010, the money they collected was donated to Indian Creek Christian Church.  This past year, bo-mar’s wonderful employees collected nearly $800 for Bo and Mark’s Christmas gift!  Mark’s daughter…
