DriveOPTIMA at Willow Springs 2026 Album One

Jim McIlvaine

OPTIMA's Ultimate Street Car series returned to the iconic Willow Springs International Raceway for their third stop of the 2026 season. This also marked the first event for competitors West of the Rocky Mountains. East coast competitors already have two events under their belts and only five of those drivers made the long haul West for round three.

This event returned the series to the Heritage format, where track time was often more than competitors or their vehicles were able to handle, although all sessions were not mandatory. A great time was had by all and at the end of the weekend, invitations to the 2026 SEMA Show and the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational were handed out to the top finishers. See the top-10 overall below, along with a huge photo gallery from this amazing event and learn how you can compete in the series at www.driveoptima.com
