Optima's Search for the Ultimate Street Car Event at Auto Club Speedway 10/10 & 10/11

[So Cal Camaro]

Ddunerider and I will be participating in the USCA Optima's Search for the Ultimate Street Car at Auto Club Speedway on October 10th and 11th, 2015.

The event has Autocross, Speed Stop, Inside Road Course, Design & Road Rally with the Holley Welcome Party Saturday night. It is a fun event, lots of track time.

They have a discount for 1st timers, 1/2 off if you enter First in the Promo code line. Here is the link if you want to check out the event website...

Special note for the So Cal Race Team/Mayhem, this event will sell out as last event of the series, it is double points, which means the last stop for people trying to get into the Invitational in November by season points. This event will pit you against some of the fastest drivers in the country, who are competing for the National Points Championship in every class, as improbable for them to win without competing in this double points event...if you want to test how badass a driver you are, this is the event...so sign up soon to ensure you have a place in the race...Hope to see a good showing of our crew at this one....

For Road Course, make sure you read the rules regarding Safety Equipment, Novice requires the least, but there is no passing on the road course for novices.

Dannie, really nice driving last weekend. It was a real pleasure to meet you.

[So Cal Camaro]

Thanks Pete, nice hanging out with you in Charlotte. Good luck with the Road America event, I gave Bill some insight on how that one works...Autocross there should really suit him better, given they run on that go kart track that is like a mini road course.

Your coaching for Bill was great! He is learning fast how to be fast. As the RC track was fading late in the day, Bill kept getting faster putting down his fastest lap in his lat session. It was very cool to see.

Thanks, he will figure out the autocross soon...LOL Bill did kick butt in the last session, passed the Mustang that was faster earlier. When we're at LS Fest, he will be able to ride with me and I can ride with him to help with autox and speed stop...see you SOON...

[JusticePete]

Very soon!
