 |  | | U.S. Army World Cup Finals | | Sport compacts hold it down in All-Motor and Street classes at annual import vs. domestic drag race | | For 14 years now, the U.S. Army World Cup Finals have been bringing some of the fiercest drag racing competition to Maryland International Raceway - billed as an import versus domestic event that in recent years has attracted hundreds of cars and thousands in foot traffic from all around the Northeast. Helping pull in those numbers are a custom car show, bikini contest, burnout contest, vendor midway and live music, but it's the racing that remains the WCF's biggest hook. | | Full Article | | By: URC Staff; Photography; Kevin Choi - 11/19/2009 | Event Images

| Event Coverage-Redline Time Attack Auto Club Speedway
There is perhaps no greater indicator of the growing interest in time attack than the participation of some big-league racing operations in the budding motorsport. We point foremost to Sierra-Sierra Enterprises, which previously ran in the open-wheel farm league Atlantic Championship but is spending these days unleashing its Evo VIII on time attacks.

| Event Coverage-OEMS At SEMA
Every year, SEMA showcases the best and the worst trends of the industry. This year, the biggest trend wasn't a certain modern muscle car but more the dreaded "R" word: recession.

| Event Coverage-Super Lap Battle Final 2009
We knew when the 2009 time attack season began that every overall victory, regardless of series, would be hard fought. One need only look at the time sheets from yesterday’s Super Lap Battle final, set on Buttonwillow Raceway Park’s track configuration CW13, to see what we mean; the three fastest times were within a half second of one another, and they were made with platforms ranging from a 2009 all-wheel drive STI to an 18-year-old mid-engine Acura supercar.

| Event Coverage-2009 SEMA Top 30
As is tradition at UrbanRacer, the SEMA Show and all it encompasses occupies our conversations for days and weeks after we are long gone from Las Vegas. In those discussions, consensus starts to form about what was cool and what wasn’t, and the debates grow only more heated when we include our freelance staff at the event in the exchanges.

| Event Coverage-SEMA 2009: THE WEEK IN REVIEW
The elasticity in our skin is slowly returning after spending a week in the desert checking out the latest and greatest the aftermarket industry has to offer vehicles of all types. True, partying to end each day of the 2009 SEMA Show was probably not the best way to stay hydrated, but without the alcohol-addled debauchery, the annual trade event wouldn't be nearly as memorable.

| Event Coverage-Evan Griffey's 2009 SEMA Top Car, Top Product
The SCAP (Sound Choice Audio and Performance) Heritage Camaro SS was my standout at the SEMA Show. This is quite a statement considering the pure and complete dominance of the Camaro at the show making it a chore to just standout from all the Camaros. While Ford may have been the manufacturer of the show, the Camaro was the undisputed star of the show and in my 19 SEMA's I have never seen one model so overwhelmingly popular.

| Event Coverage-SEMA SHOWSTOPPERS, DAY 3
Day three of the SEMA Show and we're totally delirious. Our cameras have never felt heavier, nor have our shoes ever felt more uncomfortable. We now appreciate those booths that spent the extra cash to have the super-cushy carpet - ooh, so nice.

| Event Coverage-SEMA New Product Blitz 3
We are going out with a bang or as close to a bang as we can muster. The vibe at the show has been a heavy dose of ‘grin and bear it.’ This is the biggest challenge the sport compact industry has ever faced. There were two previous dips in the economy in the ‘90s and early 2000s but the industry was in hyper drive at the time and was bulletproof against the effects.

| Event Coverage-2009 SEMA: DAY 3
On our third day of the 2009 SEMA Show, we had just enough time for a quick run through the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center before our bus left town. Our time here is never enough, and even with fewer offerings this year because of the down economy, the menu of brilliantly crafted machines was too much to cover in just one story - but there were a few standouts that came up time and again in conversation that we simply need to point out.

| Event Coverage-Drifting At The 2009 Sema Show
Once upon a time, drifting was the laughing stock of the tuner world. People called it silly, compared it to figure skating, and said it would never be considered a successful motorsport.
