Good luck, please share video and your experiences! We would love to see it.

Way cool! :cheers:

Have fun!

Weight?
 

ITR? Minimum weight 2830 lbs with driver, right? So 180 lbs more than Spec Boxster?

Minimum weight for E Production Boxster is 2555, or 95 lbs less than Spec Boxster.

The SCCA also recently approved the Boxster for STU.

In EP, you can eliminate a lot of drag:

your car? if so, tell me more about the fenders and rear flares pls.

Not mine. Sorry.

Congrat's on the car!

Thanks guys, really looking forward to the first event in March. Will be my first racing in 12 years!!
Greg the weight for the Box in R is 3050# :( Not sure where they got that # but it's crazy heavy! I'll have to look into STU, was not aware of the change.

Congrats and best of luck!

Chris, STU is a higher level than EP, and would probably cost more to be competitive in. STU is allowed wings and slicks, for example. Track records in STU are a few seconds less than in EP. For example, at Thunderhill they are 1:56.6 and 1:58.8. Both are a lot faster than SPB though, at about 2:04.

Are you going back to the Zone 2 VIR 3 Day event? If so I'll see you there.

Probably not. My limited schedule will only allow for a few weekends a year, so racing will be the focus. I may from time to time pop in to visit with friends or instruct one of my local PCA people but DE is probably over for me for the foreseeable future.
