I have been invited to the Optima Street Car Invitational
 

This past weekend, with the support of many friends I was LUCKY enough to have been asked to attend the Optima Street Car Invitational

I was given the award because they said I have the "Spirit of the Event". I never thought of my participation in USCA that way. I ask people if they need help, because of the high stress the race environment puts on the competitors; if I can help for one second, or get a water, talk about the last run, or help with car tuning, allowing someone to take a deep breath for just those few moments and look around and soak in the surroundings, maybe that will make a that person's day a little better (if that's possible while at a USCA event), what we're doing is really, REALLY cool....

I have always joked that my little home built and painted car would never be in the BIG SHOW..and now here we go! So I have 109 days till the Optima Invitational

I'm trying to figure out who is more excited about this...you or Suzy!! I was standing next to her when your name was called and I saw first hand how excited she was for you!

The award couldn't have gone to a better person. You deserve it Rodney and I hope you go out there and kick everyone's arse and show them what a home built car can do when done right!
