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.
Fifteen Porsches, One Freight Train, and 108 Miles of Texas Therapy
What started as a plan for seven cars turned into fifteen Porsches chasing the sunrise across more than 100 miles of North Texas backroads before PlanoPoCo. Great roads, great friends, one freight train, and another reminder that the best drives are usually the unofficial ones.
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.
Green to Blue at G2: Finding Speed, Losing Fear, and Letting It Rip
Back where it all started—G2 Motorsports Park. A year after my first track day in a Macan, I returned in the Skipper and drove my way from Green to Blue group. The data shows the progress. The grin says the rest.
A Quietly Rare 911: A 993 Targa, a New Chapter, and Christmas Cookies
A beautifully preserved 993-generation Porsche 911 Targa with a rare automatic transmission made a surprise appearance at Mavs and Mochas—along with its second owner, a new beginning, and bags of Christmas cookies.
THE PORSCHE DILEMMA, REVISITED: CHOOSING BETWEEN MY 992.1 C4S AND 718 BOXSTER GTS 4.0
A few months ago, I wrote a post debating whether to keep my 992.1 C4S or my Boxster GTS 4.0. That debate never truly ended. After more months of driving, tracking, and reflecting—and with Liz reminding me that one car needs to go by spring—I’m revisiting the decision with clearer insight. I still haven’t tracked the Boxster yet; my first time will be early next year when the weather warms up, and that may add new data points. But for now, this is where the journey has led me.
Trail of Towers to TUPPS – Our First Gimmick Rally Adventure
Liz and I joined our first Maverick PCA Gimmick Rally from Denton to TUPPS Brewery in McKinney. It was tougher than we expected, tested our teamwork, and turned into an absolute blast under the Texas sun.

On October 5, 2025 The Maverick PCA “Million Mansion Tour” mixed fast curves, fall colors, and a $19 million lakeside dream home — plus wood-fired pizza, good friends, and a few GoPro moments worth replaying.
