UPDATE, NEW VIDEOS from the 2015 EVENT:

Here is an overall look at the entire event:

Here are Andy's Highlights.

ORIGINAL POST below:

If you follow Optima's search for the ultimate street car, you probably know that EVO is looking stronger than ever to win this year. There are 8 evo's qualified that will be competing this year and they all have a real shot to win in my opinion.

This is the 8th year of the OUSCI and in years past it has always been won by a Corvette or a Camaro. Ronnie at RS motors is putting toghter an awesome crew that looks to have one of the White "RS" evo9's to take home the crown. My personal bet is on Andy Smedegard or Brandon Ranvek, but all evo drivers are damn good.

I can't wait to see what happens this year!

FYI,
Brandon Ranvek's evo would have won last year had he not had an engine failure on the road course. Even with this issue he managed to finish second overall in the 90+ car field.


They even converted a Camaro driver to head over to the winning side!

hell ya an evo is going to win it.

we also have one fast Subi guy in the group. he could have a shot as well.

 

good luck!

 

agreed.

Good news, if I sell the Brembo's off my subi I can go to Vegas and attend the event!

So I should be there

 

like!

 

Good luck out there!

Any clarification on why they changed the aero rules this year?

 

... and nowhere near the east coast as usual.

Good luck guys!

 

A lot of what they do does not make sense. My guess is they didn't want cars to show up looking like WTAC cars.

They ran a few events in the east.

 

I assumed they were trying to give a little more to the non-aero muscle cars. Not sure why a car can't be a "street" car with a huge wing.

 

Best of luck to the RS Motors team. Pulling for all you

 

North Carolina and Kentucky

Either way I am rooting for yall. Cracks me up that they split AWD into its own class. I shudder to think about the pricetags of some of the muscle cars.

 

Proud 8 year owner of the RS EVO & super proud of Brandons result. GL to all EVO owners in this years comp (Joe on FB)

 

I was bummed at the wing rule change. 3 of the cars at last year's event were running our wings, including Brandon's Evo.

it seems like a silly rule when the rest of the rulebook is nearly wide open.

anyone see their latest episode, "Evo Domination." haha.

 

Agreed on the rule. And no, got a link?
