Last Track Night in America event at Pocono this season and I ran a new PB of 1:45.56. I'm running about 4s faster than last year with the only mods being new front pads, softer rear springs, and wider wheels/tires.

Been working on the driver mod as I also learned a ton from a great NASA instructor I had recently. Have been trying brake harder and turn in much later than before which seems to be paying off.

The car is a 1995 Pontiac Firehawk with basic suspension mods and Falken RT615k+ tires. Probably makes about 300-315whp @ 3300-3400lbs (not including my ass + fuel).

This was from intermediate session 3:
@poconoraceway SCCA Pocono TNIA 9/14/22

Also, I started using Harry's Lap Timer and it can never get the damn starting line right. Sucks that it's the only program that can trigger my Sony camera.
