So what event then is greater than the OUSCI? Maybe some of the guys here that competed in the event can comment, but I'm pretty sure they consider it the Championship title.

I agree, in the past that is all true. But with many more like events popping up, guys can have fun with their cars on road course events and not have to travel to Las Vegas. SEMA makes it easy to pull off, because alot of cars are already there. With all the previous politics involved with style points, cobra car and street cars vs race cars, these other events may erode its superbowl feel. Its about the fun and since they are not handing out paychecks at optima some guys may stay around home and race close by because its the same fun with potential less drama. I just see equally challenging events popping up, especially in the future. That is just competitive business, if their was only 3 nascar races a year each one would be huge.
So in reference to the question a SMOTY car may at some point compete with the top cars at one of the optima like events during the year, that's all I meant. That would be cool.
The optima event is great and I really enjoy watching it. Kudos to Bill and others for organizing other great events so more across the entire country can compete. Didn't mean to de rail the topic. Its all good.
