OPTIMA® Ultimate Street Car Invitational Open to Spectators For the First Time

Highly anticipated event, now open to the public, will offer action-packed race entertainment and feature some of the biggest names in the performance automotive aftermarket industry

A limited number of 900 spectator tickets will be available for purchase and, the first 50 fans to purchase their tickets will receive a discounted rate.

The Invitational will take place at Spring Mountain Motor Ranch, a state-of-the-art racing facility in Pahrump, Nevada.

The main race activity of the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational takes place on Saturday, November 5 and will offer something for every race fan with the BFGoodrich Hot Lap Challenge, ridetech Autocross Challenge, Wilwood Disc Brakes Speed Stop Challenge, and the Raybestos Performance and Design Challenge. The Detroit Speed and Engineering Road Rally will occur the day before, following the close of the SEMA Show.
