2011 OPTIMA® Ultimate Street Car Invitational: First Vehicle Finalists Revealed

[David Pozzi]

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.

So who's the smart money on this weekend?

Danny Popp
Mark Stielow
Brian Hobaugh
Kyle Tucker
Mike Maier
Filip Trojanek
or OTHER

I think I'd like to see a "Creature Comfort" category added to the competition next year. Car stereos, A/C, Heat, working windows, accessory ports, carpeting... Several of these "Street Cars" are nothing more than race cars with working lights and street tires.
