Now that the first official USCA event is in the books, we decided to dig into the results for the Laguna Seca event. Results are posted below, but to go one step further we asked the Spirit of the Event winner Martin Pond to come on the show and discuss his experience as well, and he agreed! Martin built a 1980 Ford Fairmont that he originally bought for $250 (which, granted, is not the typical route one would go), dropped in a hot small block motor, threw a few Fox Body Mustang parts on it, brought it to the event, had a fantastic time, and walked away with an invite to the 2014 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational. Not too shabby!
If you'd like more details on the amazing Fairmont, Jim McIlvaine ("Optima Jim") has a terrific write up available on the OptimaBatteries.com website as well!
