Anyone here racing with a Boxster perhaps?

Brian (Fast986?) who sometimes posts here is beginning to CR with his S.

I have raced a boxster S for two years. Why you ask?

Those photographs are outstanding. Do you have more from that race?

Search for the thread on the race from a week or two ago (so as not to hijack this thread off the Boxster racing subject).

I'm playing with the idea.
Do you race it stock, or have you done modifications? Put a TT/GT3 engine? Lighten it? Etc etc...

I'm not familiar with U.S Classes, so what competition are you up against? Any major differences in performance?

You can find the club racing rules on the PCA website. Generally no engine swaps are allowed in stock class. The most common engine mods are less restrictive intake, cats, and muffler. Engine balancing is also allowed, but that's when things get really expensive quickly.

Suspension wise, you are allowed to change springs, shocks, and sway bars, so there are quite a bit of freedom, too. Rims 1" wider than stock (and even wider tires, DOT slicks, of course) are also allowed (required to be competitive) as long as they fit under the fender.

GT classes are grouped by engine displacement. GT4 for up to 2.8L and GT3 for up to 3.4L, so Boxster and Boxster S are at a bit of a disadvantage without engine swaps.

Then again I believe Randy Pobst has the GT4 track record in the Boxster, so really good driver (plus maybe engine mod?) can overcome the hurdle.
