Tuesday morning we received the runner-up “Best New Engineered Product” award for the Select Series Electronically Adjustable Shock.
It is great to be recognized by the industry! We can’t wait to let everyone know about this product. 
We’re really excited to be at the SEMA show this year because of all the new products we have to introduce to the public. But one of the other reasons we always love to be at the SEMA show is to catch up with the many builders that have been working hard to get their hot rod ready for the show.
Today is Monday, and this is the day Tony and Ty walk the show floor handing out dozens of “wheel trophies” to be placed by hot rods. These are cars / trucks that have been build using our products. It is truly one of the best days of the year, because at the end of the day, it is the cars (and the people who own / build them) that are the reason we do everything we do.
We are honored to be associated with these rolling works of art, and the hard working people who make them happen.
We are also proud to be able to share these images with you. (look for photos to be added soon)
The 2nd annual OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Streetcar Invitional
When: Saturday November 7, 2009
Where: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, Pahrump, NV.
OPTIMA Batteries and FM3 Performance Marketing announces the The 2nd annual OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational presented by Ridetech. The event is designed to give builders and owners of some the world’s most awesome street driven cars the opportunity to show their stuff on a closed circuit professional road-racing course. The event is held following the conclusion of the SEMA show and is intended to reflect the craftsmanship and performance of SEMA-quality vehicles and to promote those manufacturers and vendors that are closely associated with the automotive performance industry supported by SEMA and it’s members. The OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational presented by Ridetech is an exclusive invitation-only event designed to highlight the best-of-the-best street cars in the country.
The event will be a combination of styling, driving, handling and acceleration/braking. The goal of the event is to bring up to 40 of the best street cars in the world to the track and put them through their paces highlighting overall design, build quality and performance. Each event, styling, autocross, 0-60-0 and road course hot laps will be timed individually (styling will be judged) with the overall cumulative times being the final result. The lowest cumulative time for each vehicle, combined with styling points will determine the finishing order. Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each event and “The OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car” award will be given to the vehicle posting the lowest cumulative time over the combined events. The styling portion of the event will be determined by a 4-judge panel of automotive industry styling and design professionals with points being awarded on a 1-10 scale (1 being the best and 10 being the worst). Style points will be added to the cumulative time for the final result.
