The HOT ROD Power Tour West kicks off on October 7, featuring a massive car show and live entertainment at Pomona Drag Strip, after which it will tour Southern California before concluding in Arizona. This event, which began in 1995, has become a favorite for car enthusiasts, covering over 1,000 miles each year and allowing participants to join for one or more days. In college football, UTSA's head coach Jeff Traylor faces challenges in his fifth season, with a shaky start marked by a narrow win against Kennesaw State and a heavy loss to Texas State, largely due to the departure of key players. The Roadrunners are struggling offensively, particularly in the running game and pass-catching, as they adjust to new quarterback Owen McCown. Meanwhile, the girls' cross country team at Prospect High School, under coach Pete Wintermute, looks to build on previous successes despite graduating many top runners, with returning talents like Veronica Znajda and Meg Peterson. The UTSA Roadrunners will face the Texas Longhorns on September 14, 2024, in a highly anticipated matchup.
