The Underdog story at the 2014 OUSCI

I was lucky enough to tag along with a very talented EVO driver (Brandon Ranvek) and a couple other great drivers to attend the 2014 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational Event in Vegas. Thought EVOm might enjoy the watch.

Congratulations to Brandon. I had the pleasure of enjoying his driving in person at the Tuner shootout a few years back. Best of luck next year.

Looks like a good time was had. I wouldn't mind trying something like this, but feel I need some more seat time. What are the specs on the car? Stock motor/turbo?

Thanks for the comments guys. I "built" the video, not the car, so I don't have any exact specs. Maybe if Brandon is on evom he will stop in a share his secrets.

I took a pic of this Evo when I was at SEMA. Had no idea what was going on with it at the time. That is amazing. I have the same dreams just starting from autocross. Congrats Brandon

That's pretty good results for only running a one hot lap, barely coming in 2nd place.
Curious what D/E judging actually look for in this type of event....
