I commissioned Rick Deman from Deman Motorsports in Blauvelt NY to build me a 2004 Boxster S race car. He's built about 17 of them and they are really slick. Fun, grippy, powerful, perfectly built machines. They dont cost an arm and a leg, and you can pretty much hop in them and go.
Sure, a Cup car has far more power, but there is some tremendous racing amongst the boxster racers so I figured it would be a great way to have a ton of racing fun without scaring the nuts off myself every single lap.
It was a red car, and we tried one livery option which didn't come out terrific, so then the 3M guy made a suggestion that we mirror the Cup Car. We tried a couple of things that differentiated it, but ultimately, with the red, we had to white out a lot of the panels. I kind of dig the red interior, cage, etc.
Car has race headers exhaust, motons, an AIM/Smarty dash camera setup.
Rick has built so many they usually are near perfect the first laps you turn. He shook the car out on Saturday at Lime Rock. 4 laps in, all was good so in casual clothes and a helmet, he took it up to 9/10ths (after all, he wrecks a customer car, he get a royal headache)....beat the class record for that car by more than a second. i think it was a 58.6ish which for LimeRock is pretty snappy, and 1 second on that course is a boatload.
Goal is to enjoy the first half of the season in that boxster and then matricular to that Cup Car.
Thanks again to Rick. Ive worked with many good shops in the North Jersey/NY area. He is one for the best. He helps maintain most of my cars and is really precise when it comes to track monsters. He's in blauvelt, NY if anyone ever has an interest themselves.
Anyway, thought you might dig the photos...
