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.

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
