2009 OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational

[Jimi-FM3]

No Big Red this year but we'll have some other really cool stuff for the exhibition class. Can't make everybody happy on the tire rules, we decided to go DOT because it's technically street legal. I hear everybody and we'll potentially look for another solution next year. If you are reading this and were someone that asked us for this rules change, speak up!!!

The OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational presented by Ridetech has grown beyond our wildest imagination. The car count is still the same, but the media and PR for the event is growing daily. We want to get as many enthusiasts and like-minded individuals involved as we can, and I know many of you on this forum have expressed your wishes to be at the event. I'm looking for 10-15 individuals that would like to be part of the OUSCI race control team. We have opportunities for the tech, timing & scoring, and operations team. We can't pay your way to SEMA but if you're in the area and want to hang out an extra day, you can be part of the Ultimate Street Car team. We'll make sure you have a ride from Vegas to Pahrump and back, and each team member will receive a special OUSCI team t-shirt, breakfast and lunch at the track, and special recognition at the awards ceremony.

The event is Saturday November 7th, gates open at 7am and close at 5pm. We will try to have an organizational meeting one day during the SEMA event to make sure we have everything in place, and we'll buy dinner or lunch there too. If you're interested in joining the team, please email me at [email protected] and let me know what team you'd like to join. Thanks everybody for your consideration, we're looking forward to a kick-a$$ event!!

It's 0-60-0, not 0-100-0, sorry for the confusion.

Jimi,
Can you post a list of cars that WILL be at the event this year? I heard some of the cars that will be attending, but would like to get a full event list.
