Last TNIA at Lightning for the year and I capped it off with a new PB of 1:16.56. Also got to chase around a couple of newer LT1 cars in my crusty 90's Firehawk.

I talked to the owner of the SS 1LE who told me it was pretty much bone stock on Goodyear Supercar 3's. Never got a chance to chat with the C7 owner.

Car is Firehawk with some basic suspension mods, an exhaust, and Falken RT615k+ tires. Not bad for being 27 years old and on ancient SLP Bilsteins lmao.

Also, sorry about the shaky-er than usual camera. I was trying out a new camera mount and it's picking up a bunch of vibration from the chassis (such is life with poly motor/trans mounts).

Footage is from Track Night in America 9/21/22, intermediate class, sessions 2 and 3.
