Congrats on the podium finish, Tom. Only one more step to go!

I know what you mean about being spent after racing in the heat. How much weight did you lose during the race?

Just wonderin'...........

I didn't weigh myself but I woke up Sunday morning with a screaming headache and was probably still somewhat dehydrated despite drinking water and Gatorade all day and evening on Saturday. I finally felt back to normal around noon on Sunday. Glad that I took the day off because it was even hotter on Sunday.

Congrats on reaching the Podium.
Your consistent, persistent and hard work is paying off.

Now that your in the spotlight you need the fancier driving suit for the trophy girls to cling to for picture time.
What else are you going to have to ask how to do when climbing the Podium?


Do the 260 & 235 tires fit on the stock 17" rims or are they a different size rim?

Thanks and yes, it has been a lot of work to get here! Funny, you mention a new driving suit because I was looking at those just last week - not so much to please the podium girls but it seems that the new suits are supposed to be quite a bit cooler than the suit that I have now.

Spec Boxster requires 235/40/17 front and 255/40/17 rear tires on stock 17x7J front and 17x8.5J rear stock Boxster wheels. The tires fit just fine.
