OUSCI Chatter
 

Very little noise about this this year. Whats going on? What do the insiders have to say about the challengers? Will Danny Popp take the win in his less aerodynamic Camaro?, Will Steilow steel the show with his fresh build? I heard someone mention Mary was supposed to get a new Lingenfelter powerplant. Did it happen? How will she do. DSE have always been top contenders. Will it be their year? Perhaps the Golden Ticket winner Hellboy might have something to say about that. There a whole other story line... Hellboy vs the C-10 Army. What? Are there 5 of them in this race? 3 are sporting the No-Limits chassis. Where is Roadster Shop with their C-10?

What are your thoughts. Anybody plan on providing updates as it happens via twitter or facebook?

Mayhem's weight has be kept secret.......and that might just be the car to beat. But you can bet Danny stepped it up too.

Can't wait for the showdown and the other qualifiers that may surprise everyone! :thumbsup:

Per the V8TV interview with Mark, Mayhem is ~150 lighter than Red Devil. Do we know what red devil weighed?

3520 I think. The HP to wgt ratio % increase should be respectable.

Red Devil weighed 3617 according to Car and Driver magazine. So Mayhem is 3467.

I'm here - have looked over the cars.... and as far as I'm concerned EVERYBODY has raised the bar again this year. Unlike Windows 8 -- it's going to be epic this time!

I had a nice time at OUSCI today, lots of nice cars! Just wish I hadn't forgotten sunblock.

Congrats Stielow!!!

I'm a little late to the party.

For the last few years I've been helping out w the Optima parade out of SEMA. Two years ago there was a photo shoot and then off to Pahrump. Last year we pulled out of SEMA and everyone quickly scattered doing a scavenger hunt. This year I think they really nailed it: a quick trip out to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a couple of parade laps and then off to the Caroll Shelby museum.

At the Speedway I was thinking of you guys. Sorry for the bad dialogue and camera work. Everyone was in such a great mood (myself included) to kick off this year's Optima adventure.. :cheers:

Great video Ron! Hey I'm calling shot gun for next year! Coolest way to depart SEMA!!! :unibrow:
