Somehow I got a new PB of 1:13.7 at my first event of the season... which was a crowded Track Night in America event with only 3 sessions. I must've done something to please the HPDE gods. Not sure what it was, but I will keep praising Dale.

Only changes to the car from last year are better brake ducting, increased rate rear springs (now at 200lb/in), and an extra click of rebound in the rear shocks. Car feels a lot less slippery at entry. I like it!

Details on the car: 1995 LT1 Firebird, 350whp, 3350lb? (w/o driver), RE71RS tires, basic suspension mods (stock geometry), lexan spoiler, and brakes. No driver aids of any kind (incl. no ABS). It's still a street car.
