Sorry for the lame question, but what is The Detroit Speed and Engineering Road Rally?

And where does that fit in if SEMA is until Friday and Saturday is OUSCI?

Also, good question, is Charley going to be on that list?

Thanks in Advance,
John

Haven't heard of that, but they have in the past had the cars caravan from SEMA on Friday afternoon out to Pahrump, with photo ops mixed in. That would be my guess.

Thanks, Jody. That's what I figure it is, but thought I'd ask since it is in Mark's OP.

Anyone's car have room for two from SEMA to Pahrump?

DSE might be the sponsor of the road driving part of OUSCI. It's sort of a tour around the Vegas strip then out to the track to prove the cars are road worthy.

Spy shot! Mike Maier and I ran at Thunderhill Raceway Park last week to get some laps in. Mike was flying!

Are we able to buy tickets at the event or do we have to per-purchase?

Brian are you running the Vette or Camaro? Any more info on your cars or Mike Maier's Mustang? Look like some killer rides...

I will be running my Camaro. I am driving for Wilwood Brakes at OUSCI. Mike will be running for K&N. Mike has an 840 HP Roush Yates Nationwide engine with a C&R Transmission. Of course, all Maier Racing suspension with JRI Shocks. My build thread has all of my information. Both of our cars will be parked in the OUSCI coral at SEMA.

Without question. Saw the Mustang at SEMA yesterday. It has progressed so much since it first came around. To top it off, I think the rear tires on it are 265's!

I am anxious to see how he harnesses 265 street tires with 800 hp.

If anyone needs 2 tickets to watch the Optima event, I cannot make it and have 2 available. Just PM me your email address and I will email you them.
