Josh and Janice flew home from Vegas Tuesday morning and I started the drive home arriving this this morning at 2:00. Long haul but the election results kept my blood pumping and not in a good way! Zero tire issues on the return trip. Really enjoyed seeing the beauty of this once great coountry.

Thank you all for the great pictures of the Monte. There are some really great shots. optima Jim is amazing and I can't thank him enough.

Now for some results on my performance. 25th in the autocross, 30th on the road course, and DNS on the speed stop. Not the greatest but on a fun scale of
1-10, it was borderline 11. I had the time of my life and still laugh at my spin of lap 3 of the road course. Looked like I knew what I was doing, I just wanted to avoid the pit wall. Oh, I spun on lap 2 also. Even with the spins I was 3rd fastest on BF Goodrich tires good for $100.

Very nice save!

So the OUSCI was your first experience on a road course?

First time EVER. I still giggle when watch the video. There are many more planned in the future. As I look at the video, my foot was controlling my brain. Drove way to hard into the corners which cost me coming off. Same training I received in the autocross school I attended. I am happy with a 30th place finish and ready to go again.
