We are excited to share that COBRA RACING TIRES will once again serve as a bonus cash sponsor for the highly anticipated Lucky 7th Annual Olga’s California Dream 100—the premier four-cylinder stock car race in the western United States. Held each year, Olga’s California Dream 100 draws top talent from across the region and is widely recognized as the marquee event for Mini Stock competitors. For those new to the sport, “Mini Stock” refers to a class of small, four-cylinder race cars beloved by grassroots racers for their competitive spirit and accessibility.
Building on the excitement of last year’s race, history was made when Jarett Mayo drove to victory in Olga’s Dream 100. Mayo not only secured the $3,000 winner’s share from a purse exceeding $10,000, but he also completed the 100-lap challenge on COBRA RACING TIRES, earning an additional $2,000 bonus from COBRA. This brought his total winnings to $5,000, plus valuable contingency awards—making it the largest payout in Mini Stock history west of the Rockies.
COBRA RACING TIRES’ ongoing support, led by Chester Hester and the entire company team, has had a transformative effect on four-cylinder racing. Racers have praised the bonus program for increasing participation and raising the level of competition; as one team noted, “COBRA’s bonus cash has made Olga’s Dream 100 the can’t-miss event for Mini Stock racers throughout the West.” Last year, ten teams chose to run for the bonus cash, and thanks to COBRA’s involvement, that number is expected to double in 2026.
To further fuel excitement, if a team running a different brand of tires wins, COBRA RACING TIRES will still award $1,000 to the highest-placing team on COBRA tires. This commitment ensures that the competitive spirit and opportunities for racers remain strong, regardless of the outcome.
Saturday night racer Jerrett Mayo from Northern California, the stakes have never been higher. Many expect Mayo to return on COBRA RACING TIRES, aiming to become the first-ever two-time Dream 100 winner and potentially take home the bonus cash once more. With the field growing and the competition intensifying, will history repeat itself in 2026?
