Porsche AG blocked my CPO 911’s warranty over a DME modification made in 2021, four years before I bought it. Arbitration found nothing. The block stayed.
Eagles Canyon Raceway
Racing Yellow, Now Literally
A 2:16.55 at Eagles Canyon, a promotion to Yellow, and video proof I’d been building the lap and then losing it.
Forty-Two Meters of Guessing Every Single Lap
My brake point at Turn 1 moved forty-two meters lap to lap. That’s nine-tenths of a second of pure guessing, and it explains almost everything else the data told me about Saturday at Eagles Canyon.
Three Sessions, One Yellow Boxster, and a Whole Lot of Traffic for a Friday
Cool morning temperatures, a nearly empty Eagles Canyon Raceway, and enough telemetry to satisfy the biggest data nerd. The Skipper kept getting quicker all day, even as the Texas heat and traffic worked against me. Sometimes the stopwatch doesn’t tell the whole story.
Three Sessions, Fresh Yokohamas, and a Yellow Porsche Learning to Behave
Three hot sessions at Eagles Canyon Raceway, fresh Yokohama AD09s still coming in, and one Racing Yellow Boxster GTS learning that faster laps come from cleaner driving, not bigger heroics. The Skipper dropped to a 2:20.145 in regular CCW configuration, with data showing the time was hiding in smoother sectors, not straight-line speed.
Sometimes You Have to Dance With the One You Brought
A return to Eagles Canyon Raceway in the Skipper turned into a lesson in adaptability: clockwise layout, street tires, light traffic, perfect weather, and a paddock full of GT3s and GT4s. No personal best, but a great HPDE day with plenty learned.
Breaking Into the 2:19s at Eagles Canyon
A new personal best at Eagles Canyon Raceway: a 2:19.3 lap in The Skipper, my 2023 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 on Yokohama AD09s. Using RaceChrono with iPhone video, RaceBox Mini S GPS data, and OBDLink MX+ telemetry, the lap highlights where the biggest gains came from—and where there’s still time left to find. Breaking…
Where the Missing 4 Seconds Actually Live
Using lap data to understand where time is actually lost — and what I’m working on to close the gap.
Cold Track, Calm Hands: A Personal Best at Eagles Canyon Raceway
A cold but clear morning at Eagles Canyon Raceway rewarded patience and smooth inputs. With a new personal best lap of 2:24.96 in my 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, this track day reinforced how much progress can still be made early in the learning curve by focusing on fundamentals rather than force.
Learning Eagles Canyon Raceway — Clockwise, One Lap at a Time
My first time running Eagles Canyon Raceway clockwise was a solo day—and one of my most productive days at the track so far. Cold air, light traffic, and just two focused sessions were all it took to learn where the confidence and reference points still need work.
