Man I've super neglected my poor thread. However, a post by USCA reminded me that one of the things I'm most proud of this year is back to back podium finishes in overall GTV class at the two Optima USCA events I've attended. I've had first place finishes in NMCA autocross and local SCCA autocross events in 2016 but the USCA series is such a harder test on car and driver that getting on the podium at one of those events is an amazing feeling.
At the February USCA event at Thunderhill I placed second overall and at the April Vegas event I placed third overall. Given the level of competition at these series and the seriousness of the cars I feel pretty damn good to be in that company. Especially, since my car is truly a street car that I drove all the way to each Optima event and back home and continue to rack up a ton of miles a year!
