This was my second best full lap of the weekend event (from the second to last session). Here is my best partial lap of the weekend from the day before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsUC-uEZFro

My first event (second day) driving at Road America. It is a great track!
2017 Camaro SS 1LE. Unmodified engine using PTM Race, worn stock Goodyear Supercar 3 (220 treadwear) tires at the wear bars (2/32" tread), track alignment (camber: -2.2° front, -1.8° rear, toe: +0.05° front on each side, some toe in for the rears), SPL Rear Toe Links with Eccentric Lockout, BMR BK063 Rear Diff Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit, FEA front lower front control arms from ZL1 1LE (since stock fluid filled bushings leaked), 2021 SS 1LE ABS control module (EBCM) to get better ice mode calibration (found on 2019+ SS 1LEs) which prevents intermittent hard brake pedal and reduced stopping force in bumpy braking zones, Castrol SRF DOT 4 brake fluid, stock Brembo (Ferodo HP1000/1) brake pads, GM plastic track brake cooling deflectors, smaller GM metal brake dust / splash shields, Ikon Motorsports 2019+ stock style 3 piece front splitter. The car is in track mode with touring steering mode and track exhaust mode. Ambient temperature was only 55°F, about 20°F cooler than average and only a few degrees above the record minimum high temperature for this day historically! 67% humidity, wind 13mph from NNE, cloudy all day.
It rained a lot from late Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning so I'm not sure if the track was fully rubbered in but the grip felt good.
It is probably not fair to compare this lap time with pre-repave laps based on what others have said about how much better the new surface is and based on the significant year to year lap time delta at the recent IndyCar race.
