I'd love to get out to Chuckwalla with POC. Yeah I can guess what the spec Boxster times are... probably around 2:05, maybe less

Was out there today, and what a beautiful day it was. Got there around 6:45 am and it was a nippy 45F, but it warmed up quickly. My group was out last on the first session at 9:35 am, by that time it had warmed up to 57F or so. It got up to 75F in the afternoon and sunny blue sky. Got 4 x 20 minute sessions in with progressively better times, but by the 4th session, I was pushing it harder and my times were very consistent at 2:12-2:13. So I met my goal of 2:13. I did have a passenger all day.

I have to say that I enjoyed how Speed Ventures does things. 1st, they greet you at every session and place you in the grid according to your times, eliminating guesswork for optimal grid positioning. 2nd, they do what's called a download after each session, more or less just a formal review of any incidents, complaints, point bys, track etiquette etc... I think AZ PCA and my local group Pro-Autosports should do this too as it seems many people have forgotten about proper track etiquette.

I'll post a video when I get a second to overlay the data and render the 4th session.
