How long have you been racing? You're very cool in the car. You made me laugh a couple of times. You know...100 miles an hour, waving to people, checking the mirrors, having a conversation with your wife, "Do you want to make something for dinner Honey, or should we just stop by Toucan Taco?"
Hi Grizzly,

I've been looking at some of the other dash overlays and a few of the "hacked" dashes that users have put together are really cool. One guy has mimicked the 996 dash pod and added digital inputs for the g's, which I really like. I'm figuring out how to download these dashes right now.

My wife and I have been tracking various P-cars since 2002. We started in a 914-6, went to a 3.6 big wing, big slick 911 and have now settled on the Spec Boxster, which really is a ton of fun to drive on the track. The motor is not going to let you set land speed records, but the car is just a ball to drive on the track. Momentum cars can be just as much fun as high HP cars.

This was a very relaxed lap in the car due to a large amount of cars on the track and my wife was learning the line from me as she gets acclimated to our new toy. That lap was somewhere around a 2:16 lap, I've had the car do 2:10's at the same track, which at that pace is keeping your foot flat to the floor in several spots where we were taking it easy.

The Boxster is a very comfortable track car.

Hey Bill

Nice! I love to watch that again and again with the in car gauge overlay. Keep more coming!

The cable modem doesn't mind the 32mb downloads!

Hi Jeff,

Yep...you gotta love Cable Modems!...(I've got one too... )

45 seconds and 32MB is right on the screen. My home PC is faster than my T1 line at work.
