This video captures the first session of NASA Time Trials on Sunday, July 3, 2016, at Pueblo Motorsports Park. The vehicle is a 2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06, featuring a stock engine and BFG Rival S (200 TW street) tires, weighing 3350 lbs with the driver.
During this session, the driver completed four hot laps with recorded times of 1:38.79, 1:39.14, 1:38.75, and 1:39.33. The fastest lap, a 1:38.75, occurred on the third lap. Notably, during this fastest lap, the driver briefly lifted off the throttle to avoid a rabbit that darted onto the track between turns 4 and 5 (visible at 5:22 in the video). The driver is confident the rabbit was not harmed.
The subsequent fifth lap showed promising pace, with the Racechrono app indicating a 0.4-second lead by turn 7. However, this lap was compromised when the driver encountered a yellow Mustang in the middle of the track between turns 8 and 9, necessitating significant braking and a deviation to avoid contact.
