I was under the impression that most Spec Boxsters simply remove the AOS and block off the opening.

Am I wrong?

I would never just block the opening. Your crankcase MUST vent. On many race cars and bikes we've simply vented to the header, or out the back. But I've also read that these low- tension rings require some vacuum to seal properly. I can't confirm, but I buy it.
But don't ever just seal it off.

That is correct.

I just take an extra AOS with me to the track, that way if it shoots craps I don't have to pack up for the w/e.

I've read about this before. Maybe fron you? It's a good idea and I've started packing a spare as well, just in case.
