  • National DRAGSTER Interview: Robert Hight – John Force's newest driver, son-in-law Robert Hight, hopes the skills that made him a champion marksman will help him succeed in Funny Car. By Steve Waldron. (page 24)
  • Crewmember close-up: Bottom-end specialists – They dive underneath the race car, drain the oil, unfasten the oil pan, pull and analyze the bearings on the main caps that keep the crankshaft in rotation, knock out eight rods and pistons, and put it all back together in the allotted 75 minutes. Really, how is that possible? By Brad Littlefield. (page 26)
  • Featured Sportsman: Frank Manzo – As newsworthy in 2004 as the records broken and accolades earned was something that didn't happen: Frank Manzo failed to win an eighth straight Top Alcohol Funny Car championship. "A lot of people think I was in a test mode, or I was trying stuff," Manzo said. "But I got lost. I'm human. Frank Manzo got lost on the tune-up and couldn't figure it out." By Bruce Dillashaw.
