 |  | | 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-SEMA New Products Blitz 2
Day has gone off much smoother but there are just fewer import parts in general out there on the floor. Finding them is difficult with all the 2010 Camaros crowding the aisles. But we have found some gems for today’s lucky contestants, the new Godzilla and the Korean Hammer also known as the Nissan GT-R and Hyundai Genesis.

| Event Coverage-2009 SEMA: DAY 2
We stumbled into the second day of the 2009 SEMA Show a little hung over, a little beat, but mostly ready to field whatever curveballs came our way. First on our hit list was the press conference Scion was putting on to announce the winner of this year's xB Tuner Challenge.

| Event Coverage-SEMA New Product Blitz
The 2009 SEMA kicked off under duress as my plane had some at-the-gate maintenance that encompassed opening the 'hood' on the port-side engine...never a good thing. Then the SEMA New Products showcase failed to provide the usual images to go along with the info. This sent me scrambling to shoot the products through the glass like you shoot animals at the zoo. So I must apologize for the lackluster quality of the images. But I am at the keyboard, iPod with Linkin Park blasting and 48 minutes to deliver the goods.

On Saturday, October 24, the biennial Tokyo Motor Show kicks off for a 12-day run at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City. As we previewed here just last week (http://urbanracer.com/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=4021&z=2), there are only a handful of truly inspiring cars that should generate interest from the tuner set amid a larger collection of vehicles that features more alt-fuel offerings than anything else.

| Event Coverage-Sport Compact Fall Nationals 2009
Autumn was in the air at the 11th annual Sport Compact Fall Nationals, as the sweltering temps that typically grip the Northeast in summer gave way to more temperate (and somewhat overcast) 60s and low-70s - conditions more favorable to both racing and being a spectator of said racing. Again, Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ, was the scene of the staple import drag race, the last major contest of the season in the area.
