I thought if you win at one of the qualifing events, you get your ticket to the event. Then there is a few more that get added as invites. then at SEMA they pick a few more.

In addition to winning your way in or being invited during the year, there's another way to get your OUSCI ticket punched ... be a sponsor's entry.

I should have modified my ALL invite statement -- because we all know that you can win a golden ticket (which I mentioned).... and of course the sponsor cars (used to be called exhibition)... Last year we had the killer drift car... and the SEMA picks (which are also invite cars)... So what's the breakdown?

20 Invites?
10 Golden tickets?
1 prior winner?
10+ Sponsor cars?

Somehow it got to 53?

What I was really saying is that this is not an event you can just sign up for and run what ya brung..... but I get the hair splitting. LOL

My clarification wasn't directed at you, Greg, but meant for others that may not know the different ways a car/driver can get into the show.

Not Goodguys events, but these event wins got you in:

I was hoping the Lat G and PT forums were each going to get 1 pick again this year.

That club sure is growing...

Got this from the PT forum for anybody thats interested:


2012 Schedule of Run To Series Events

In an effort to cut down on PMs about upcoming events, I want to post this now. It, as you will see isn't a complete list of our planned events for 2012 but we have nailed down 5 of our 7 or 8 planned stops.

The schedule as of now is:

Run to the Alamo, San Marquis, Tx. Febuary 17-19

Run to the Coast, Irvine Ca. March 9-11

Run to the Shore, Millville, N.J. April 6-8

Run to the Ole South, Kershaw, S.C. May 11-13

Run to the Hills, Pigeon Forge, Tn. Sept. 28-30

We are working hard to secure a date and location for RTMC. The Nashville Speedway is reportedly closing and locking the gates at the end of the year. We may be forced, if this is indeed what happens, to move it, but we do have a back up plan if the track does close.

We will also be running the annual Midwest Muslecar Challenge with Mark Bowler at Putnam Park, right now we are working out that day with the track.

We also are on the verge of announcing one more event, later in the year, at Thunderhill raceway in northern California. More on that event later.

We are very proud of the two new events, Run to the Alamo and Run to the Ole South and hope this creates a new opportunity for some that have not been able to attend our events in the past.

One other event that, while is isn't officially part of the Run to Series, it is certainly one that we all try to make every year has also moved for 2012. Scott at Motorstate told me at SEMA that the official dates for their event are July 13-15.

Please make a note of these dates guys and we will let you know as soon as registration is open for all of them.

We look forward to seeing you at an event near you in 2012.

OH don't get me wrong. i am simply observing, and "OUR stuff Rides the BEST"
:_paranoid there someone said it lol

I knew you weren't Mary -- but I also try to write - as many do - so that anyone that reads a post can understand. So when I went back to read my post I could see where it wasn't correctly stated.


I will add.... ya know... because I never have an opinion.... that regardless of what the CAR is... I still saw how the DRIVER did. To me - that's the real separation of where a particular car placed in the standings. And if someone wanted to move up the leader board.... A trip to Bondurant or SMMS or some other driver school would probably do more for them than a lexan window. :cheers: :D

yep, you could put some of these guys in a rental car and they'd be competitive......................:lol:

Well..... that might be a great way to declare the winner in a tie!! Wouldn't that be a hoot to watch! :unibrow:


Watch a video of Mark Stigelow (LOL).... and watch how quiet his hands are... how relaxed his driving is. Compare that video to Mike Maiers video on the road course - it's posted up around here somewhere - and watch how busy he is.... and remember a driving rule.... "every time you turn the wheel you're going slower".....


That statement is in no way meant to say Mike needs driving instructions!! :faint: Please don't read that into this comparison.... I'm using it because there are good videos of both guys around here that can be easily viewed. I use this because viewing the two - you'd SWEAR that Mikes car is probably way faster... it LOOKS fast. And it's great driving - or as I'd call it as a skier a fine bunch of linked recoveries!

While we know about car set up etc - and we could argue these points all day -- I'll repeat -- I'm only using this as an EXAMPLE for comparison sake... not a statement of who's better or the cars are this or that....
