Default Optima Search For The Ultimate Street Car Autocross Videos. 10/10/2015.

This event was held at Auto Club Speedway. They have two events for the day. Speed Stop Challenge and Autocross. The Speed Stop Challenge is fun, but I really came for the Autocross. During the track walk, I quietly snuck in Mary Pozzi and Danny Popps group to get tips from them. My first lap out I was looking good. My last lap was even better. Thanks Mary and Danny. 1st. overall out of 90 cars.

Speed Stop.

Autocross.
Steve

Good job Steve. I stopped by there this afternoon and I saw from the time sheets that you won by a fair margin.

Nice meeting you Steve and great runs. I was the guy in the yellow C6Z that was chasing you at Auto X. I don't mind finishing runner up as long as it was a fellow Corvette guy in the lead.

It was a fun weekend, but I wish that you could have stayed there for the road course on Sunday. I ended up winning GTL and securing an invite to Vegas after winning by nearly 1.5 seconds on track and just edging you out on the speed stop.

Hope to see you out there again.

Hi Rich,

It was nice meeting you too. Congrats on the invite to Vegas. Your car and great driving in all 3 disciplines should get you a win. The race you and I had was great. When you put down that 45.377 I got fired up. Race is on now. After watching Optima on TV for over a year, I didn't want this one to slip by. Lucky for me, I didn't panic, and just laid down two solid laps. Thanks for making it even more of a rewarding experience.
Good luck in Vegas. Can't wait to watch it.

Steve

Thanks Danny. The slower laps I did, but the fast lap was a miracle from God. Nice seeing you again. I used your line on the right hand off camber turn. Thanks.
