jdnguyen and myself participated in Optima's Search for the Ultimate Street car at Road America in 2015. It is a great event; however, I think it would be pretty hard for a 86 to ever win the event.

We met and were hanging out with Churchill and Bong from RS Motors; good guys. Bong was competing with his turbo S2000. We definitely agree about it being hard for an 86 to win. I imagine your event was as dominated, if not more, by domestics as our event was. We had sea of late model Corvettes and well sorted pro-touring vehicles. Short of something like LS-swapping with wide body/wide rubber I don't think it would happen. Still a very fun time though! EDIT: You should post those photos (and other track photos if you have more) in the Track Photos - Directory and Discussion thread. It needs a kick start.

Was wondering if you would catch the RS Stickers on my car. ![]() I got 7th or 9th out of 26 in GTL at Road America, I was pretty happy with the placement, can't remember Jason's placing. A NA BRZ can't touch 400+ HP evos, Popps 600+ C5, or a LS swapped FD on a road course that's made for speed. |

And that's a good showing of imports. There were maybe 10 non-domestic vehicles are our event.

We drove the BRZ to Thunderhill Raceway from our shop at Sonoma Raceway.

USCA
I will be running the Charlotte event this year and can't wait! Did they make you provide any proof of vehicle weight to run the GTL class? If so what did you use?

That being said, they had scales on site in Charlotte last year. Be prepared for a 1/8 mile drag race into a box at the 1/8th for your standing start shootout. |
