SUPER COMP by Todd Veney
"[An altered] may be a little harder to drive because it'll wait until you're not paying attention and then do something stupid, but I'm not buying that stuff about having to be in a dragster to win." – Ken Serpan, who wasn't kidding; he drove his altered to victory in Phoenix (page 12)

FEATURED FLYERS
Many of drag racing's most head-turning cars populate the Sportsman ranks. This week ND takes a closer look at some superb specimens, from a New York-based Super Gas Studebaker to a '50 Ford Super Streeter from California. (page 46)

PLUS:

Special Tech Section: Rear-end housings and components – No other component on a drag racing vehicle takes more punishment than the rear-end assembly. ND helps you choose the right parts, all the way from the housing, axles, and spools, through the center section, gears, and accessories. By John Jodauga. (page 54)

Feature: Ashley Force – There really isn't a blueprint to potential stardom in drag racing, but if there was, it would read something like Ashley's Force's life story so far. By Phil Burgess. (page 16).

Profile: Mike Strasburg – From the Bonneville Salt Flats to the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Top Fuel racer Mike Strasburg and his family have a history of going fast. By Candida Benson. (page 18)

Technically Speaking with David Reher – "I'm alarmed by how many engines assembled by do-it-yourself builders have incorrect piston-to-valve clearance," Reher says, so he's here to help you get it right. (page 122)
