So when/where are we going to see your first race when it all gets done?

I rode along in a race prepped car at an Autocross once and it was like a bag of cats exploding off the line and then in every direction at once around the course.

It was a good thing I was wearing a well fitted helmet as my head was banging around on the roll bars from the insane acceleration and what I can only describe as Jinking vs steering around the course.

I don't know how the driver kept it on the track let alone avoiding all the cones in the Auto-X.

The lightness and increased HP really brings out a whole new dimension in the Boxster.

The car will be completed tonight - I'm picking it up tomorrow morning. Will be at AutoClub Speedway in Fontana, CA on Sat and Sun!

I feel like I'm 9 yrs old and am picking up my new Schwinn Stingray tomorrow.
