Ugh, frustration. I’m in the middle of an 810-mile round trip to Summit Point Raceway and my brand-new (well, not BRAND NEW, we’ll get to that in a moment) right rear Hoosier race tire developed a hideous bulge after something like twelve laps.
Not that Boxxy (yes, I recently renamed one of my Porsches after her) was having a great weekend anyway. It’s suffering from the typical Boxster 1.3g left-hand cut-out at the bottom of Summit Main’s big downhill. The exhaust leak is clearly robbing power: Boxxy can’t quite hit 130mph on the long front straight. The good news: I swapped the brake discs on Friday afternoon and they’re fine.
Now for the depressing math.
