You've got a great car and congrats on your win as well.

Thanks Lance, and yep I'm the old guy with the 63. The car did get a little loose a few times. I think I about reached the limit of my 7 inch wheels and 245s. Front and rear quarters and 295/18s front and 315/18s hopefully will be on before the next event we attend.

Jimi and the entire optima crew put on a great weekend, I would like to encourage folks to bring their cars out and participate.

This award is given to a participant that embraced the “doing more with less” mentality. One who didn't necessarily spend the most money on his car, but put the time and effort into it that made it still perform right alongside the higher dollar cars there. It is a beautiful trophy too…

Getting that award made my weekend. I’d had such a good time, and everything went so smooth and to top it off by being recognized like that…just blew my mind. Huge thanks to Bret Voelkel of Ridetech and Jimi Day and the rest of the USCA crew for giving me one of the most memorable weekends I've ever had. IF anyone reading this is wondering if they should attempt one of these USCA events or not, stop…just sign up and go. Trust me you'll have the time of your lives…and who knows, you just might end up getting some TV time as well. I know I can't wait to start watching the shows that start airing on MAV TV this Friday night.

Great story. Congratulations on a job well done & well deserved award.
