MUSCLE CARS ON TRACK

When you’re a suspension company, you have a vested interest in getting people excited about driving their cars as God intended—hard! UMI Performance knows this, and it figured the best way to get people involved would be to host an event. Now, the company has done its UMI King of the Mountain race (with its $25,001 in prizes and $15,000 of that for the winner), sponsored by Air Flow Research (AFR), but it wanted to up how many events it was hosting at its motorsports park, so UMI hooked up with Optima Batteries to put on this DriveAutoX autocross event.
