The wheels of Time Jamboree will run August 27-28 in 2011 and it is the 33rd annual event. 1500+ Rods and Customs are expected.
"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 club's 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. Through this event WOTSRA helps many local charities and also helps local Vo-Tech students with scholarships to continue their education in the automotive field."
