Taken out in the desert in Pahrump, Nevada while I was at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. A friend of mine said it would rain and he was right. Good thing it didn't rain while we were on the track. :)
In Photoshop CS: adjustments to the RAW file, save as PSD, cropping, minor levels adjustment, conversion to b/w via nik color efex pro, some minor burning and dodging of the clouds and mountains, noise removal with nik Dfine Selective and save as JPG.

Thank you to all who left comments for me. As for my choice of b/w vs color, it was fairly easy for me since I really love b/w and I am trying to get back in touch with my photographic roots. While I did debate whether or not to enter b/w or color, the debate did not last long. I will post a color version of this photo later for those that said a color version would have been better.
As for those that voted me a 1, 2 or 3 (and maybe 4), why did you think it was so bad? Did you leave comments for me? If so, please PM me so I can figure out what I did that deserved that score from you. I am not angry but I just want to know what I did that deserved that low score.
Thank you!
PS: Here is the color version although not in it's ideal form and still needs some editing but enough to give you an idea of what it looks like in color.
Exceleent use of black and white, I think if you rotated it just a tad to the right I would have liked it a little more. Rotating it would make it just look look a little more level.
