Taylor Crowned Two-Peat Champion
PRO's sixth and final leg of the Cheap Street tour featured a large nine-car field. Jeremy Taylor once again qualified in the top spot with a 9.88 at 133 mph and later met number-three qualifier Jay Canella in the finals. Taylor took the holeshot start, but Canella crossed the stripe first with a 10.02 over Taylor's off-the-pace 10.69. Nevertheless, Taylor sealed the Cheap Street books for 2003 and will again defend the number-one title for another season. From all of us at Car Craft magazine, congratulations Jeremy.

Cary Bawcum of Bartlett, Tennessee, took home the Silver Choice Award for Best Body and Paint on Saturday... | 
...and then took home the Best Interior category on Sunday with his ultra-sano '67 Chevelle. |
Bruce Ricks made the trek from Sapula, Oklahoma, with his amazing '55 Chevy and didn't leave home without first gathering awards for Best Chrome, Best Engineered, and Best of Show. | 
Larry Frederick from Petersburg, Indiana, showcased his gem of a '62 Chevy with a 409ci W-motor. All the hard work paid off as he took home the Editors' Choice award, First place for Best Stock, and Runner-Up Engine. |
MSD Ignition True Street is a brutal class that requires all vehicles to be licensed and registered, and each must complete a 30-mile cruise before even setting foot on the dragstrip. After the escorted drive, competitors are given a closed-hood cooldown time of 15 to 30 minutes and must then complete three back-to-back runs for an overall e.t. average. Taking the win was Sticker Dude Designs Greg Zeotmulder and his '80 Jeep, featuring a nitrous injected small-block Chevy with a 9.97 average. | 
John Gaff of Memphis just about stole the show with his '41 Willys, including Best Stance, Best Pro Street, First Place for Best Street Rod, and Second Place for Best Street Machine Tubbed. |
