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 HPDE sessions at Eagles Canyon Raceway in a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, 16 timed laps of RaceChrono data, and a 4.53-second gap that traces back to inconsistent brake points.

The Puck Stops Here (Except It Didn’t)
I skipped the AD09s because I couldn’t find a QuickJacks puck and couldn’t be bothered to borrow one. Ran street tires instead and took two seconds off my personal best anyway. Here’s what the data says about grip that shows up early and leaves before the session ends.
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.
