Optima Batteries released the second wave of Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational Invitees early this week. We did some digging around to see just who these people are and what cars they might be bringing to OUSCI. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down images of all the vehicles associated with this list. If you know any of these names below not pictured and have an image of their vehicle, please feel free to add it to the comment section.

We featured images of these vehicles in our first write-up of 2014 OUSCI participants: OUSCI ROUND ONE COMPETITORS LIST (https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/110871-USCA-Drivers-Invited-to-the-2014-Optima-Ultimate-Street-Car-Invitational-Closer-Look)
(https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/110871-USCA-Drivers-Invited-to-the-2014-Optima-Ultimate-Street-Car-Invitational-Closer-Look)

Many of these competitors either won the last USCA event in Pittsburgh or won a spot in the Top 20 Non-Qualifying Points Leaders

Joe Escobar (1974 Ford Pinto)
Shawn Carroll (2008 Mitsubishi Evo X)

There were also 30 additional competitors that were invited to compete at OUSCI. These competitors did not win a USCA event nor did they place on the Top 20 Non-Qualifying Points List. Many cars below were selected based on style, performance and their past history in our industry. While we were not able to find photos of all the vehicles listed, many of the names and vehicles are well known in our pro-touring community.

The last round of OUSCI Invitees will be announced Thursday November 6th at a press conference in the Optima Batteries Booth at SEMA. 20 “Golden Ticket” selectees will be announced before SEMA, but only 10 will claim the Golden Tickets to move on to compete at this year's Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational.

Awesome, looking forward to this.

And FYI, the ticket link goes to the 2013 event. For this year's event, can tickets be bought at the gate?

Sorry about that. We corrected the link. As for purchasing tickets at the gate, we are going to double check on that. As of right now, I don't believe they will be available at the gate; only online. I will make another post once we get confirmation on that.

Great new. Just confirmed that you can indeed buy tickets at the gate. They highly encourage buying them before of course so you don not have to wait in line and can avoid the crowds. If you are still on the fence about coming and won't be deciding until the day before or even the day of, then you do have the option to purchase those tickets at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you very much Brandy, I appreciate it! I might try and buy them beforehand, it's just a matter of sending out the link to everyone I'm dragging along. Plus I'm on the fence about Sunday, I'll already be in Vegas from Tuesday (but I'm probably going to get no sympathy from the vendors having to show up Thursday/Friday the week before to set up for SEMA!).
