Spec Boxster did run at POC's STS event Sunday

[EPIQTodd]

Some asked for updates on the Boxster Spec series - here's one from Boxster Bob (a friend of mine whose record I just broke this weekend):

A Spec Boxster from San Diego ran at Sundays STS #3. The driver has a lot of experience racing (Mazdas) and was instrumental in developing the Spec Box Rules. This car was totally stripped out, no side windows, no convertible top (it had the hard top), no air compressor, etc., etc. The car had over 100K on it but the motor had less than 40K. The driver told me that the car had been gone through from top to bottom: suspension, brakes, motor, etc. It was very well turned out, looked great, and was running Hoosier Tires on 17" wheels.

Unfortunately (in my view) it did not seem to be that fast. Counter Clockwise with the Bowl, the fastest time was a 1:32.706, again with an experienced driver. That is only 0.216 seconds faster than Todd French in his 987 S with Michellin Cups. I would have thought with the weight advantage it would have been in the high to middle 1:20's.

PS: It was classed in in J Production

Some of you wanted updates, and I wish I had taken a picture too. Sorry. Here's one of me at the track, however...
