Ryan Mathews and the DSE 2012 "White Monster" Camaro Earn a Trip to The Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational
Mooresville, NC -http://goo.gl/x5jWkZ For the DSE Test Car's first dip into the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car events of 2015, it was quite a successful one. Ryan Mathews took the top spots in the GT Class with 1st place finishes in the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross, the Speed Stop Challenge and the Hot Lap Challenge. Unfortunately, due to the transportation logistics of the new BFGoodrich Rival S, they weren't quite available for the public; so Kyle was positioned in the exhibition class. The new BFG Rival S tires had incredible turn-in grip and came up to temperature fast. If you are going to be consistently competing for the top spots of these events with the best street cars in the country, the BFGoodrich Rival S need to be the next set of tires you purchase.
This was not a big deal for Kyle, as he is more about proving himself with how he runs and not the hardware on his office shelf, put down great times and finished with a 1st place overall in the Speed Stop and 2nd place overall in the Hot Lap Challenge while finishing in 5th place overall on the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross.
Unlike the previous week in Fort Worth, Saturday morning started early and came with beautiful temps and abundant sunshine. The Driver's meeting kicked off a day full of events with the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross, the Speed Stop Challenge, the Road Rally and finished up with the welcome party. Cars were running hard all morning and afternoon with just a short break in the middle for lunch. Ryan driving the DSE 2012 "White Monster" Camaro put down great times early including a 0:43.907 on his first run. His 1st place clinching run came on his third of the morning, a 0:43.724 which was good enough for the win. Kyle, not to be outdone by Ryan, posted a 0:43.028 in the exhibition class in the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car. Ryan also claimed the Speed Stop Challenge in the GT class while Kyle who finished first in the exhibition class and overall, ran one of the only three sub ten second times of the weekend.
Sunday was the Hot Lap Challenge and the two drivers were ready to get at it, especially after their great times and cooperative cars on Saturday. Kyle finished first in the exhibition class while Ryan ran the only sub forty second time on the road course with a 0:39.520 that couldn't be caught.
There were many DSE "Equipped" cars running all weekend including Ken Thwaits in his Showtime 2014 Camaro, Ken was neck in neck with Ryan, finishing right behind him in the autocross and road course and 3rd in the Speed Stop.
This was a great weekend for a great event at Texas Motor Speedway. It was a successful first event for the Detroit Speed team and we forward to getting back at it during the Optima event at Bowling Green in June.
Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Texas Highlights:
• Ryan won the GT Class and punched his ticket for the end of year Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitation in Las Vegas
• Ryan posted the only sub 0:40 run during the Hot Lap Challenge
• Kyle, running in the exhibition class, came up with a win in the Speed Stop Challenge and Hot Lap Challenge
• Ken Thwaits and his DSE "Equipped" 2014 Camaro finished 2nd overall in the GT class with two 2nd place finishes and a 3rd place finish
• The new BFGoodrich Rival S is an amazing tire and exceeded expectations

I tracked the notorious smuggler, Ben'jamin'white, immediatley after his setting down on Imperial center. Really, the Millennium Falcon is a horrible alias for his ship, the Eon Eagle. After letting him get some incriminating merchandise, I followed him in my inconspicuously colored Speeder bike. He didn't suspect it until it was almost too late. Just as I came around 56 Imperica, he saw me and put on a burst of speed...
