How quickly they forget.
I drove Dad's '97 Boxster in two National Tours, '97 Devens and '98 San
Diego.
Got my butt kicked at Devens by Andy Bettencourt, but ran heads-up with
that '98 National Champion guy (BTW, Matt, did I ever officially say
"Congratulations?". Won San Diego by a pretty good margin (over my
co-driver, Michael Butler, that other national champion guy). The car
was never set up, never did anything but bolt race tires on.
It's a good autocross car with definite AS potential. But it's tough to
launch well, so I'd avoid it for Pro Solo.
For '99 though, I'd pick a BMW Z3 2.8 Coupe.
