O’Hara said: “I really enjoyed the whole weekend. “Just have to ignore it. These guys were up there this weekend. I just shot each angle one by one. As the race continued, there were some standing puddles. Kyle went well. I actually had some more speed. He did a great job up front. Kind of just let him lead the way and just do what I have to do to get it home. We have a little sport there. Jump out of the chair once and then just back her up a little. Honestly, I had no idea that Travis was out. I didn’t even see my consent on the board, and we were counting down the rounds. So it just happens round by round. It is my dream to stand on the top podium and hold the number one plate in hand, from the beginning of the year until now. I am so grateful for this opportunity and this team. I was very happy, really. I’m just enjoying the moment. “

“Overall the feeling is definitely bittersweet. Nice to have another weekend deal like we did in Laguna. Win the Challenge in the dry game. I think this is the first time I’ve won an underwater race. That’s good for my confidence. I’ve almost gotten wet in the superbike and thrown it on the street many times, and so on. Good to complete one. I didn’t know Travis was out either. But I know it’s Tyler right behind me. I had a few looks over my shoulder. I think he got close to me in the second round on the front. I turned him back into one. It was a tough race. I think we all want a dry confrontation, at everyone’s pace. Anything can happen in the race.”
