Default The new Optima Search for the Ultimate Streetcar Show!!!

The new Optima Search for the Ultimate Streetcar Show is on its 4th show(Daytona) coming up this FRIDAY!!! and we are getting ready at the same time to film show #9 at Michigan this weekend! I have been impressed with the cars that have turned up for the events in Laguna Seca there was an AWESOME Mercedes SLS, and a really sweet bone STOCK restored 69 camaro, and I mean Stock, STOCK! rubber bushing stock arms stock engine, carb, radiator, wheels, gauges EVERYTHING racing around Laguna Seca! that was awesome to see, there was a pinto that had more mods than the Camaro!..the show for Laguna Seca they didn't show all the things that happens behind the cameras, and the Texas show let everyone in on some of the great stuff going on, the road rally had us drive thru and stop at some of the best areas in Monterey Ca, here's a few pictures!!!

there are 3 shows left! come out and join us! we are not sure the show will be back next year...we hope so but there are no guarantees

August 22-24 Michigan International speedway
September 19-21 Sebring International Raceway
October 3-5 Pittsburgh International Race Complex

A GT40 and an SLS!!

I'd love to see a USCA event schedule for next year. I assume this must be under discussion right now?

I can see me going to Fontana next year. I doubt Laguna will be viable.

We were running Fontana about a month prior to the USCA this year. But the road course is pretty blah. High speed, but nothing like Laguna Seca or IMR.

I really enjoyed the Texas show, def. want to see more

Rod, has any of the Ridetech crew done any reconnaissance on finding someplace near MIS/Jackson area to watch the show Friday night?

I'd be in on joining up if we can find a place! We're staying in Jackson, about 30 mins from MIS.

Not sure what "look" Chad is going for, but he needs to lose the goat beard, turn his hat around and buy some big boy pants…….either that, or they need to dump him and hire someone that looks less like a wannabe ghetto thug….

Nope, his look is his "patent".
