“Inspired” Into A Porsche Boxster

Randy was an avid HPDE participant at Harris Hill Road at the SEA Track Attack.  This was back at the end of May 2009.

He was driving a fully stock (except for the tires) 2008 Porsche Limited Edition Boxster S, in the noticeably awesome bright orange color.  The ‘ S’ edition series, with the SportDesign package, was limited to 250 lovely units.

Randy had an interesting story to tell as to how he became an owner of this Porsche.  This could be something we could all learn from.  Back in 2007 he was campaigning a 2004 Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible.  He recalls a September afternoon that he set his fastest time (& his fastest speed in a car, ever) at the TWS (Texas World Speedway), at 2 minutes, 3 seconds.  He was, in his words, “scared frightened”, just too much adrenaline.  He realized it was TOO fast & he was not at all comfortable with all the raw edge of power.

That night, logging onto the Internet, he found his current Porsche en route to a dealer, still on the boat.  He ordered it right then & there.  He calls his car his “safety equipment”.  In comparison to his former Mustang, this car just goes & goes, that it is over-engineered for speed.  In addition, he doesn’t have to wrench on it constantly, like he did with his Mustang.
