haaaaaaaaaaaaaters!!!
Unlike other clubs, SPEC here means spec. Cars are dyno'd and checked randomly.
What you interpret as 10hp faster maybe that eric has more ***** and never lifts (where others do) and late brakes.. he is also always on the limit where others choose to be more self preservation... and as a result carries entry and exit speed that dwarf his competition.
Its quite easy to critique someone else from a video 3,000 miles away, but I'd put my money on Eric up against any other spec boxster in the country.
When you guys are winning spec class races by 30 seconds plus on second place, then I will listen more compliantly.

Yeah, not exactly a legal pass by him. Glad I got him back after that one. I've only gotten to run against him once a year but it is always the best race of the year.

Eric is a very fast and aggressive driver. If you look at his videos on youtube you will see this. Cal speedway has some area's that can give the illusion of more horsepower than the other guys if you get a good run coming out of a corner.
Also, in the POC we give racing room if the other guy breaks the plane of our bumper. I think the black and orange car may have felt that Eric was there, also it was probably out of respect for how fast Eric is that he gave him the corner.

In any event, he and Eric are both driving at a different level from nearly all of the rest of the BSR drivers in California. I think that would be the case no matter which BSR they were driving.

The other drivers in our group are certainly less suspicious. My car has been dynoed, inspected, checked for LSD, weighed after every race etc...
I started racing motocross at 5 yrs old, then was a 914 momentum racer for 8 years. The spec box is a natural progression and suits my driving style.
It would have been nice to have the spec Boxster run-offs this year as I would have traveled back to Hallet to meet the mid and east coasters for a run. The car will be moving on from BSR over the winter so I'll miss out on the national get together next year.
here is the video of that pass in the corkscrew from inside my car. Lots of glare from this camera location but I liked being able to see more interior stuff and footwork.

His engine isn't really revving that high. His Traqmate doesn't know it is on a 6 cylinder car.

I think you're still missing the comment that the traqmate in question is not installed in my car, and that is not my video. It is from a competitors car.

Yeah i know... I was playing around with the 'CA Stock' reference as the bad TM data was like a hanging curve .... (ie OP is beating a guy whose engine revs to... nevermind..) 
Nice driving OP as indicated previously (meant all vids in the thread).
