Erik, the car looks great. Thank you for moving the development forward

I come from EP-FP SCCA road race cars.. and helped push through (w/ the technical help) the Boxster into production classes. Erik Madsen did 99% of the communication with SCCA pushing it through. I about

puked when they decided on 2650 for the weight LOL WHAT WHAT WHAT!! LOL

I also knew a long time ago the 2.7 was needed. It breathes a lot better than the 2.5.

I wanted to apologize in person (but haven't seen you yet besides the '12 nationals) I wanted to apologize about the door coming off at the Austin track

I'm not accustomed to putting the bolts back into the doors. I leave them out on purpose. Our west coast corner workers are told/taught they can lift the handle and pull the door off to get someone out of a car quickly if need be. The issue with that on your car? No windshield posts.. no posts to hold the door down.

I do apologize for that. It was a mistake on my part that should have never happened.

Hope all is well

I'm in Austin several times a year for PCA events. A customer of mine lives there and we run his cars back forth for CA/TX events.
