Ah, ran with the Buccaneer Region SCCA eh? Good bunch of folks.
I was up at the Gainesville road course a little over a week ago and brought the Boxster out there for the first time (I usually run the miata). Had it almost to the top of third gear going down the back straight!

Not my car but here is a vid from my friends miata of the configuration we ran:

That's Gainsville but I don't think that was an SCCA autocross, ours keep the speeds much lower with lots of cones and slaloms. Looks fun though.

Your are correct, not an SCCA event. It was with the Martin Sports Car Club (based out of Orlando), a local private club. We run Gainesville twice a year in what we call our Mini-Prix. It's a chance to put away most of the cones and run a more open, faster course... Something we cannot do at our home site. We should be up there again in the Fall.

Give me a heads up when you do it in the fall, I live in South Georgia and autocross at Gainsville all the time. Would love to run with out all those pesky cones.
