Set your DVRs to stun! This Saturday at 5pm eastern time the 2013 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational will air on MAVTV and you’ll be able to see the slugfest that was OUSCI 2013. BangShift sponsors like RideTech and Lingenfelter Performance Engineering were on hand thrashing on their cars along with a host of others, competing in events like the hot lap challenge, autocross, design challenge, and more. As it always has been, the event was held at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Parhump, Nevada the Saturday following SEMA. Our own Chad Reynolds served as the announcer for the event as he has for several years and reports that the competition was the most diverse and tough yet. To us, the coolest thing about OUSCI is that diversity. The fact that you’ll see a car like Bret Voelkel’s nasty ’33 coupe and a Nissan GT-R clawing for the same spots on the finishing ladder certainly makes it interesting.
The field was comprised of cars ranging from homebuilt pro touring muscle cars to high end exotica, to ragged edged professional built and driven iron that may wear classic tin but is underpinned by the latest and greatest in engineering and technology. Who won? Who spun? Who lived up to expectations and who fell short? See it all in living color with the airing of the 2013 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational show this Saturday at 5pm Eastern on MAVTV.
Like we always tell you, if you don’t get the channel (and we do…har har!) call your tv provider and yell at them to add it. The network is chock full of great automotive programming and they are adding more and more stuff by the week (WRC rally live, all of the racing series they already cover, Dave Despain’s show, live circle track action, etc) so get in on it now.
