• Wheels of Time
  The WOTSRA was started in 1977 in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania by a small group of street rodders that had been 'Hot Rodders' back in the years when that term was used. They felt there was a need for an organization to promote Street Rodding in the Lehigh Valley. They started small, meeting in garages of members and gaining members as time went on. The 3 day Rod & Custom Jamboree (with over 2200 of the finest modified cars on the East Coast) that takes place each August in Macungie Memorial Park was originally a one day 'Run To The Grove' in Alburtis, PA. It has grown over the years to the fantastic show it is today. The clubs membership has grown accordingly. Our membership is over 100 men and women, all with the same ideals and interests. These ideals are the promotion and development of 'Street Rodding' activities in the Lehigh Valley area and beyond. Through our efforts we help encourage the development of Street Rodding and encourage safe and organized Street Rodding wherever we go.
  Thanks to mike for show coverage.

• SIRIUS At The Glen
  Once again pit stop strategy was the major factor in determining the winner of a NASCAR Winston Cup Race.

• SunTrust Indy Challenge
  The only thing that could stop Scott Dixon during the SunTrust Indy Challenge was rain.
  Dixon led every lap before a heavy thunderstorm arrived June 27 at Richmond International Raceway and forced the race to end after 206 of 250 scheduled laps on the ¾-mile oval. It was the first time in IRL IndyCarÔ Series history that a driver has led every lap of a race.
  It was the third victory of the season for Dixon in the No. 9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Panoz G Force/Toyota/Firestone and his second in a row. No other driver has won more than once this season.

• Susquehannock Trail ProRally
  The 2003 STPR, as always, was an amazing event. Despite the rainy weather, canceled stages, and muddy conditions (we had to hike about 2 miles to make it to the spectator areas) we had a blast! We were a little worried that the recent death of a spectator at another SCCA Rally event a few weeks ago was going to limit the spectator viewing areas, and we were right. It made it harder to get to where we were going, and harder to see due to tighter rules and regulations, but as that first car went past at break-neck speeds out mouths dropped. These cars are amazing and they take a beating on these courses. Its amazing how fast these drivers are able to maneuver their vehicles in any condition that is presented to them.
  The night rally, in my opinion, is a true test of skill and insanity. Before you ever see the bouncing lights of the vehicles, you hear the vehicles engine as it is quickly shifted through all its gears. The bright lights follow the noise quickly. At what seems like an eternity, the car finally catches up with the noise and the lights. A whirl wind and a blur is all that is left as it streaks past. Another minute or two goes past before the dirt begins to settle.
  I envy the drivers, workers, and mechanics. To me, there would be nothing more blissfully then being able to challenge yourself and the car on these roads.
