It's an incredible looking machine and I will post pics when it makes it's debut. It will compete in class with Garrett's incredible GT3 machine and John Payne's Yellow Bee. Of course the Cups and RSR's are in that group too. This will be a fun year to watch racing in the POC...
ASSuming your referring to the white one at Willow on 2/8? If so, mean machine!

John

It was nice meeting you at TH on Friday 13th lol

Your spec boxter was fast - even in slightly wet track. can't believe you got pulled over twice and a fixer ticket for loud exhaust. I left after lunch when it start to rain. Just don't want to chance damaging my RS.

Given your OCD ... I mean "attention to detail" ... I'm surprised you didn't go for the captive hood pins.



And the safety pins on Colm's race car are beyond great. Maybe he can furnish a pic or brand stamped into them?

Why another one and not just work on this one?? BTW there's a guy on 6speed selling a boxter with 3.8L conversion with 7.2 brain for 29K. He seems to know what he's doing cause it's not his first.

Right. Those little black egg-shaped things are safety latches. Marvelous looking things -- looks like a machine aluminum cam-action that goes around a convention pin (threaded to adjust for tension.)
