It really is a "must attend" event. I can't believe they ran that many cars and event with the carnage finished all the timed events.

With a little tweaking this could become the biggest event of the year. It's already the most fun.

Thanks to you guys for putting it on and for the Sponsor for chipping in to make it a reality.

I'm involved in a business that sponsored 3 Indy Light cars - so got to hang with the big boys at the Indy events... Which includes Danica Patrick.... and even as cute as she is ----- I'd far prefer, and had a way better time, at the Optima event! I only mention the first in order to put it into perspective...

Great group of people - great group of cars - and a challenging event!

Congratulations to everyone that ran!

Require that all cars are driven to the event, by having everyone meet in Prim first and then caravaning to the event. No trailers allowed!

Great event, keep up the good work and don't invite Steve Rupp Back.

We all had a blast. I have a few more rock chips in Jackass to go with the other rock chips. I will be interested to see how Jackass did in the style section because we had a bad feeling when the judge walked up and started by reading us the rules and telling us not to bother opening the hood. The track is building a drag strip so hopefully we can do a 0-100-0 or 0-125-0 or 0-150-0. With a drag strip I assume more bleachers and maybe the event will be open to the public.Or sell tickets thru a few websites like these.

As for rock chips I HIGHLY reccoment the clear bra stuff.. it's really paid for itself at this point.

If you feel better we got the same speech about how performance didn't matter in the style catagory..

The 0-100-0 is a good idea.. but more people could relate to a good old fashioned drag race.

I had a blast. Hanging out with friends and watching good clean competition was awesome. Went to both events and am definately going next year. Just wish the style part would go by by or not become the major factor as this years was. Other than that I applaud all for beating their cars and putting on a great show for us. Thanks to the sponsors for the event.

It was a great show man the Guys gave it all, I had to leave early because of the distance 1460 miles one way the show was killer good job. the 0-150-0 would be a hit
