Fontana Recap with OPTIMA Jim…and Class Standings with One Event to Go!
OPTIMA Jim and I returned to the OSUSC Studio this week to recap Fontana, share who won, and discuss who is gunning for class championships at the final event of Road America. Long story short, there are more fun fireworks flying in competitors garages right now than a 4th of July Celebration on Capital Hill!
Full results for Fontana are below. Thanks for listening!
