    I had a great time thanks to all the good company out in Sturgis. Congrat's to Dave on second place in show and Doug for a 3rd place in Pro Autocross. We toured the SD countryside one day and ended up in Rapide City for lunch at the Firehouse Brewing co. Good food and good beer. The final picture was at the awards banquet going counter clockwise there is Stacey, Bruce, Max and Doug with Dave doing the photo duties.

    The morning of the autocross finales we broke Doug's Rag joint so we repaired it with what we had-Wire ties-lots of wire ties. By the way Flat Bob made an appearance too.

    More of the great roads in SD. Mitch and lisa with minions also Doug, Bruce and Stacey at the Firehouse. We need to find an outsider for doing group photos as Dave is not in these. Finally the SVO marks its territory!

    I am amazed at how well phones take pictures. I know I had one of the best vacations ever. Doug and I took 3 autocross class's each and flogged his poor car! Fortunate were we his tires were already shot. When we were done they rolled or should I say bounced down the road. Doug rolled one towards the back of the car to rotate them and it stopped on a flat spot!

    Bruce,
    Thanks for posting those pics. I'll work on the videos tomorrow. Did anyone get pics of those awesome bi-wing supports? Another top notch repair job on Doug's car. Although I think it was hard to top the rag joint repair job.
    There's nothing more to see here, now move along...

    Congrats to Doug, Bruce and Dave who represented the SVO well in the autocross event, on one hand amazing for a 30+ year old car but the cars are small and nimble and the drivers are great! Hope to see everyone next year!

    Doug, I've joined your zip tie club! Unfortunately, I learned of the need during the second run and limped to the finish line. Thankfully, there were a few cart guys there that had spare zip ties (where is AlexL when you need him!!!).

    If you didn't make Sturgis 2016, start thinking about Sturgis 2017. Mitch is going to approach the show organizers and propose a separate SVO class if we can get 10 SVOs to the show.
    Here are some pictures from 2016 to get you thinking.

    We usually take a day to drive through the black hills. I've never experienced a drive like this, especially with other SVOs

    Here are what the roads look like

    Doug using a Q-tip for last minute cleaning (no, not his ear but his car) before the show. You'll learn new ways to make you car look great!
