SEMA/Optima Aftermath

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Hey All,

Just wanted to share a few thoughts on the 2017 Optima challenge. First off, a big shout out and thanks to all the folks behind the scenes that put on and run races like Optima and others, giving each of us an opportunity to go to events where we can really stretch the legs of our Pro Touring cars. It's easy for us to show up, throw it down on the track and then pack up and leave, but behind the scenes there's an incredible amount of planning and prep to pull races like this off. For that we at Speedtech take our hats off and express our gratitude for their efforts to move the Pro Touring world and fun forward. Two thumbs up everyone!

During SEMA week we had quite a few folks make the drive northward to drop by the Speedtech facility. It was great meeting you all and having an opportunity to show you around. Our doors are always open to anyone who may be passing through St George, UT and we're always happy to introduce folks to Speedtech Performance.

I wasn't able to make it down to the race myself but several of our crew members were able to go and had an awesome time supporting three great guys with their Speedtech equipped cars. The report was that there was some serious competition but the general feeling was still of friendship, support and fun among everyone. Congrats to all drivers for making it to the race and pushing your cars and skills to the edge to place where you did. A special shout out and congrats to our good friends Nick Relampagos, Brock Makin, and John Woods who all are relatively new to this, have fairly freshly built cars and still fared very well against their seasoned competitors. The coolest thing about these three guys isn't their cars but rather their awesome personalities. If you ever attend an event with them there take a minute to get to know them and you'll make a new friend. If you haven't met their cars, Click Here to learn more.

Congrats to everyone who raced all year and good luck to those that will continue to run the next few races on deck. And here's to a prosperous and blast of a 2018 season!
