Did a PCA-sponsored “Sunday Drive” with the Maverick Region Group.
John Harvey put together an awesome 92 mile route from Lake Worth to Fort Richardson State Park. Total car count was 33 Porsches, so the field was split into four groups with staggered starts. We were part of a group of nine: several 991 Carreras, a RUF 996, a DP 911, a Cayman, and our 2.5 986. These guys really put the “spirit” in spirited driving, and it felt great to put the Boxster through its paces in the twisties keeping up with the big guys. At one point, we got separated from the group by slower traffic, and it looked like we were going to be left behind permanently, but we and a Carrera pushed real hard for quite a long time, through some pretty technical corners, to finally catch up. A few minutes later, we caught up with the first group!
At the Fort, we were greeted by our host, who was dressed in period uniform, and he gave us a tour of the nineteenth century military fort. Then we were treated to some great Texas fare for lunch. All in all, it was a great day in beautiful fall weather to stretch the Boxster’s legs. Total mileage for the day – 260 miles.
