electric carts are nice in a sence of gettin going... but for us fat ppl they straight up suck...

^ Oh yeah! Game on! We're probably gonna get our @$$e$ handed to us by them (one of their guys can break into the 34's), but who cares as long as the competition is good.

Of the 4 of us that showed up, here are the times:

First350: 35.677 (out of 4 races)
Triple8Sol: 35.740 (out of 2 races)
Drivesolo: 35.821 (out of 4 races)
HaulinZ: 36.191 (out of 2 races)

I gotta hand it to the S2K guys; they are a good bunch of guys (+1 girl), closely knit group, serious about racing. There were 7 of them to our 4.

First time I ever did 4 races back-to-back. I was pretty much dead tired by the 4th one, but I think I could probably do it again now that I know what to expect.

Those times are very respectable. As a whole, this was the best run group I've ever been in, with what...a 1 second spread between #2 and #10?

+1 ...the last session, if you were running a low 36s time, you were at the back of the pack

I dropped my best time by around 0.3s from running behind those guys - they run very 3rd Thursday of the month...I'll probably join them again.

Ughhh... Those races took their toll on me. My right arm is sore from cranking on the wheel and banging on the seatbelt buckle. Didn't feel it much last night but I'm really felt it this morning.

Here's something interesting.... If you take everyone's best time for the evening and average it out; our VQ group did better than the S2K group:

VQ average time: 35.875
S2K average time: 36.033
