Multiple SCCA National Solo Champion Mike Maier, driving a Ford Mustang, won the overall Vintage Class at Round 3 of the Optima Ultimate Street Car Event in Las Vegas, Nevada, running on Falken’s ultra-high performance Azenis RT615K tire.
In fact, the top four drivers in the class also chose the RT615K for their vehicles and came out ahead of the competition.
The Optima Ultimate Street Car Event is sanctioned by the Ultimate Street Car Association (USCA), an organization created to deliver safe, fun and high profile national automotive events for street legal performance vehicles. Competitors accrue points in various driving events pitting handling skill and timing against other entrants. Events can include autocross, speed stops, road course, road rally and hot lap segments. Falken is the official road course sponsor of the series.
“Most entrants compete in their daily drivers,” noted Jonathon Bradford, Falken’s Motorsports Marketing and Events Manager. “What sets our competitors apart from everyone else is the time-tested, track-tested Azenis RT615k, our championship-winning tire. Plus, Mike knows a thing or two about winning, as does Brian Hobaugh, who placed second overall in the Sports Car Class.”
