From a participants point of view if you really just want to hang with buddies and bench race more than thrash on your car the old Run to the Coast is hard to beat. It might not be fair to compare those earlier RTTC events to the Optima events of 2015 but the Optimia events from my perspective were about 10x as fun as the RTTC events. Optima is way more organized and efficient in conducting their events which translates into a lot more seat time, which at the end of the day is what I'm personally paying for. I love the mix of cars at the Optima USCA (as opposed to invitational) events and there are a great group of people that makes the events special. But at the end of the day there is no way in hell I'd continue to fork over $500 if I didn't get a lot of seat time as that is the funnest part
