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!

Bob Sobey wins OUSCI 2023 in back-to-back fashion!

OUSCI 2023 Finale – Bob Sobey Wins!!

OUSCI 2023 has come, gone, and Bob Sobey is our champion once again!

Listen in for a full run down of the entire week at SEMA 2023 culminating with an amazing performance run by each and every OUSCI competitor. The past 10 years have really shown the growth of this series and (in our humble opinion) the OUSCI competition at SEMA is the biggest show of all.

It was GREAT to meet so many of you at the SEMA show and we’re really happy to hear how much you enjoy – and utilize – this podcast throughout the season. It was always meant to be an aid to those on the inside – and the outside – to make the series more helpful, accessible, and FUN!  (We love doing it, too!)

Congrats to ALL who competed, our class winners, and of course Bob Sobey our OUSCI 2023 Champion! We’ll be back after Thanksgiving for one more show as a 2024 preview. Enjoy the holiday, get some rest, and we’ll talk to you soon.

Results are below!
