Just finished up at Pikes Peak Raceway in Colorado this past week,
this was my second event of the year in Optima.
I won the AutoX event by .827 sec, and that was also good enough for 12th overall in a sea of Corvettes, Vipers, GTR's... in that category.
Finished 5th in Hot Lap (road course) and 5th in Speed Stop
Wound up finishing 5th overall in the GT Class out of 36 for the weekend.
All in all it was a good weekend the car ran well and came home in one piece,
it's only the 2nd time I've had her on a road course (only been on a road course 4 times total) and
looking at the concrete wall in turn 2 is pretty intimidating
New episodes of Optima's search for the Ultimate Street Car will begin to air
this Sept on Mav TV so tune in!
Looking forward to the next Optima at my home track, Auto Club Speedway in Fontana
Thanks to Cortex Racing, Anderson Composites, PK Auto Design, AutoXandTrack.com for the support!

Awesome, I want to do this as well, but they don't visit any tracks in Texas.

Autox run looks clean. Nice work.

Watched this show a couple of times, really interesting cars and people. Not sure how they class them though, seems to be a lot of strange groupings at times. Definitely worth watching if you have MavTV.
