Yep, same car. I stuffed it at the outside road course in Las Vegas back at the end of 2010. It was repaired with all factory parts at the tune of about $15k... It's all closer to factory spec than new now. Was expensive to repair, but glad I did instead of start all over. I raced it in BSR for all of 2011 and then took it apart at the beginning of 2012 for this new revamp.

Thanks! Hope the thread can be inspirational for a few out there looking to go the same path. ( the race car path, not the crash one )

It does make me want to have a track car even more. But, it also makes me want some actual driving skills too. Sheesh, before I start talking track cars, I really need to get into some DEs and AXs.

I'll get there one day. It won't be as nice as your car pictured here though!

Hey, come down to San Diego for the Performance driving school in October.
2.5 days of training with a full day of learning/driving Auto cross on the last day.

I'm prepping for it now, Tires, Brake Flush, oil change etc.

It will be my intro to Auto-X and eventually DE track days, plus I'll learn how to drive it in a non-competitive atmosphere which is always good for first timers.

Seeing the full fledged race car pics sure gets your imagination working to see what might be possible for yourself.

I knew a guy who raced for Porshe Germany in the 70's, always loved hearing about his experiences and later his videos of Stock car racing in Canada.

Very exciting stuff!!!

Nice work Eric. I believe #23 is clearly the fastest Boxster in the west.
