Feature Interview: Ken Thwaits, 2017 OUSCI Champ

And…..we’re back! This episode marks the first OSUSC show of 2018 and we thought the best place to start would be to chat with Ken Thwaits, the 2017 OUSCI Champion. Ken has been a competitor in the series for years and was the inaugural Points champion back in 2014. However, it took until 2017 to win the coveted OUSCI trophy….and now he has the target on his back for all of 2018!

Ken is a fairly high profile person in the OSUSC series. He’s both a competitor and sponsor and he does both of those things at a high level. Since that’s the case we decided to ask him to share his insights on winning the 2017 OUSCI Championship, to share the prep he and his team used, and to (frankly) discuss publicly the “Wheelgate” issue during SEMA 2017. If you know Ken you’ll know this is a no holds barred episode.

We hope you’ll enjoy this one and we’ll plan to bring as many feature interviews to you as possible this year. Should be a fun season!
