PLUS:
Tech: Leakdown and Compression Testing To avoid wasting even one run on engine diagnostics, you need a variety of tools beyond wrenches and screwdrivers. Racetrack mechanics need gauges or testers, like the leakdown and compression testers, to help diagnose engine problems quickly or monitor overall running condition. Evan J. Smith walks you through it. (page 53)
First Person: On The Run with Del Worsham On the eve of his sponsor's race in Phoenix, Worsham says, "I've had a feeling since preseason testing that 2005 is going to be a year unlike any other." Find out why. (page 34)
Competition: Southeast Division Lucas Oil Series Opener Longtime racer and former track operator Jerry Barker has had some memorable weekends at the races, but few can compare to the one he enjoyed at Florida's Bradenton Motorsports Park. By Kevin McKenna. (page 38)
