Probably the "real" reason I sold the 997 cup is that I could not "race" a $160K car. I just did not want to ever ball up that amount of money.

The new spec boxster is a good car and now well sorted. On the initial outlap at MSR sorting the car Glen did a 1:26! The cage that Todd did in the car is phenomenal too. I posted it for sale on Monday and have already gotten a lot of interest. If anyone needs pics or other information on all of the updates shoot me an email.

Thanks,

Olcha was running in "H" this past weekend (Prepared RSA), broke his stub axle during the very first practice session on Saturday. "H" is currently a little light in this area. Quite a few Cayman S/Prepared Caymans running in the NE area now.

Not that you need or want my advice, but I'd seriously consider a Spec Boxster. Cheaper initial cost, cheaper to run/weekend, and plenty of competition. If Rob Cohen, Chad H. and a few other folks join the fray, you will have 10+ cars in your class. Brad Roberts (wrote the original rules for POC) mentioned that he will find a way to include 2.7 and 3.2 cars (similar to Spec 944) in the very near future. I'll keep my "F" car, might also show up in a Spec Box or a SC.

One more reason to get a Spec Box and keep your Cayman S as a street car Not that I (or anyone else for that matter) am trying to steer you in that direction....

I went from one of the fastest in blue to mid to lower pack in yellow, but I drove a lot better being pushed and not getting continually stuck in traffic.

Judd,

I was in the white 993 that was trying (unsuccessfully) to keep up with you in one of the run sessions. You were driving very well.
