OSUSC DoubleHeader Madness with OPTIMA Jim: Thunderhill & Nola – Recap and Results!

The March season of events is in full madness mode…..so we’re back on the podcast court! In this episode we were joined by OPTIMA Jim as well to review not one, but two OSUSC 2023 events! As you know, Thunderhill and NOLA recently occurred on back to back weekends. This is a full rundown of both events in “one shining moment” of an epic podcast!

The “racecraft” between these two events is the same – but different – and after two events in the books we already have people solidly in the points for a show at the 2023 OUSCI.

Listen in for a full rundown of BOTH events that were. A summary of winners is below, and all official results are at www.driveusca.com.
