Great pics! Nothing as fun as a track weekend in a Boxster! 
Any comments about running on the track with the top down vs top up?

I prefer down. It's not like it adds any level of safety having it up. It may be even safer with it down due to better visibility.
The one downside I can see is if you go off, there is a greater likelihood of the interior getting covered with dirt.

Thanks! I prefer down for the marginally better visibility, although honestly I didn't notice nearly as much of a difference as I had expected. On the track, 90% of your concentration is focused well ahead of you, with the other 10% checking your mirrors. Top up or top down, I can see my mirrors fine. The only difference is that with the top up, and a plastic rear window, I can't always tell if the Corvette on my tail is a base model or a Z06. But it doesn't really matter at that point. Besides, I'm more interested in the Corvette in front of me that I'm about to pass.
