By definition, a "Spec Racecar" is a vehicle that has been modified or altered while following a set of guidelines ("specifications"). These modifications ("mods") would include race components, add-ons, and performance upgrades. For a "spec Boxster" this would mean specific suspension and tires, and limits to what other components within the vehicle may be modified.
What's cool about a spec racecar (spec Boxster, spec Miata, spec Mini, etc...) is that all of them perform nearly identically on the track. That's right, they are a blast to race because it is driver skill, not the size of the wallet, that determines who crosses the finish line first!
This particular spec Boxster is built following the rules and regulations from the Porsche Owner's Club.

Introductions
Okay, the virgin first post. Cutting to the chase, this is our objective:
In creating this blog, we are going to attempt to document our progress as we build a competitive "Porsche Boxster Spec Racecar" from square one - hopefully, this blog will be helpful, informative, and interesting. Check back often, as we are always tinkering!
