Default DeMan Boxster makes it to the Koni Challenge

DeMan/Ferguson Porsche Boxster Koni team makes it's debut at the Glen 200.

https://rennlist.com/forums/members/...-koni-car.html

Hey All,

The Boxster made its debut at the Koni Challenge ST race at the Glen, the car with DeMan driving was able to keep pace with the top 10, turning a best lap time of 2:11.9 while the winners kept a 2:10-11 pace.
Ferguson qualified the car in 17th place and had a good start only to have the valve stem knocked out of the left front wheel 8 laps into the race by a Chevy Cobalt. A fast wheel change in pit lane (our first as a team) and Dan was back out on the lead lap. BUT.....the Grand Am officials saw Dan roll backwards in pit lane over a hose and then speed away down pit lane...tooo fast...so we got smacked with 2 penalties right off the bat..first was a stop and wait 60 seconds in our pit box, then go back out on the track and come back thru for a drive thru speeding penalty...OUCH..!!! so by the time that was all over we were 3 laps down and just had to chase. Dan put up a good hour and 15 minuets then I jumped in to chase them all down. Passed quite a few and set our fastest time of the weekend.

All in all it was a lot of fun and the Boxster is competitive from the get go.

Watch the broadcast next weekend on Speed..2 PM Sunday
Next it's off to Mid Ohio to redeem ourselves..!!

Very cool, can't wait to watch it. I tracked a boxster for a few years before getting the 911. For all the chixster jokes its a fantastic platform. Glad to see it out there.

Give'em hell Rick. Best of luck for the remainder of the season.
