Welcome to the Show!

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!

Portland and Road America:

Recap and Winners!

This show is a double header! As announced [previously, here is your full double-edition recap show for events at both Portland and Road America! The only and only OPTIMA Jim joined in for the Road America segment as well. Hilarious and insightful commentary was provided by Jim with the apropos wit and whimsey he is known for best (i.e. it was really really smart and really really funny).

Listen in for the full rundown and the printed results are below as well. We’ll plan to have the upcoming preview for Daytona asap as well!
