DriveOPTIMA at Willow Springs 2021 Album One

OPTIMA's 2021 Search for the Ultimate Street Car, presented by Advance Auto Parts, returned to historic Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, California for the second year in a row. An amazing assortment of the world's best all-around street cars & trucks came out and gave it their all over two days of friendly competition. When the wind calmed down and the dust settled, invitations to the 2021 SEMA Show and OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational were handed out to the top contenders.
