Welcome to the Optima Search For the Ultimate Street Car Series Podcast! This show is produced twice-per-month show and will be a great way to keep people informed on everything going on, from rules discussions, to event coverage, and to feature interviews with competitors and people of interest!

The show is hosted by myself (Rob Kibbe) and Race Director Jimi Day. Our goal is to bring you all of the latest and greatest information possible…plus have plenty of fun along with way. Feel free to e-mail us with feedback and questions, and we’ll work as many of them can into the show!

Real street cars run in the rain, but for the safety of our course workers and competitors, we don't run when there is lightning in the area.

A great shot from NCM. Real street cars run in the rain, but for the safety of our course workers and competitors, we don’t run when there is lightning in the area!

Series Intro for Newbies:

Welcome to summer! It’s officially here now. Since we had a couple of weeks between events we thought now would be a good time to go through a lot of the questions that come from people outside of this series, specifically because OSUSC is a series that’s made for amateurs, but done at a professional level, all with the goal of putting great cars on the track! OPTIMA Jim’s latest article went through this in details, so we dug into all of the points of discussion:

Safety is our Top Priority
We Have Rules
We Have a Podcast
It Really is a Series for Streetcars
We’re Searching for Ultimate Street Cars, not Ultimate Street Car Drivers
This Series Isn’t For Everyone
