Hot rodding in Texas is huge, and there is no better place to see that than Texas Motorspeedway during the Goodguys Lonestar Nationals. We were on site announcing the Goodguys Autocross action all weekend, and have a gallery of photos for you to enjoy as well. Not only were there great cars on display, but plenty of tire smoking Autocross action as well. BangShift sponsors Ridetech and Optima battled it out all weekend long in a showdown that ultimately came down to the wire with Bret Voelkel from Ridetech taking home the 1st place trophy in the Vendor Category over Jimi Day from Optima with an ultra tight margin of victory.
Driving his Optima Batteries One Lap Camaro, James Shipka also took home the Street Machine Category win with the quickest single lap of the weekend. His biggest challenge came from the newest Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational Invitee, Terry Neuville, who brought his beautiful Camaro up from Lousiana for a weekend of fun. The two battled all weekend long but the win went to James by only 4 thousandths of a second. 53.620 to 53.624. Now that is close racing action.
In addition to the photos below, we’ve got a gallery of show car action for you to check out here.
