My season is just starting. I park the car and go fishing when the thermometer goes above 90*. We just got our first cold front of the fall, it's 85* today! I plan to race till May. As for changes I installed new Wilwood rear drag brakes on the Dart and took the 14year old brakes off. Quite remarkably I never touched the rear pads in the 12 years I've owned the car!!
