My specBoxster is a track only car so that's what I do. One lap with some hard usage (of the style discussed by Brad's freeway example) followed by one lap with as little usage as possible and your on your way. Once new pads are bedded you will probably find them to be immediately usable on subsequent refits - the disc's pattern will not change much from street usage inbetween. My guess would be that the bedding of your boxster's brakes would be identical to that of your race bikes. What is your local track and what did you race there?

Just for the record, I use Pagid oranges in my GT3 which is primarily a street and occasional DE car and do not change them out in between. The noise drives some people (my wife) crazy but I do not give it a second thought.
