Interview: Top Fuel racer Scott Palmer Plays the Waiting Game – Senior Editor Steve Waldron takes a look inside the life of Scott Palmer, one of a shrinking number of Professional competitors who rely on race-to-race sponsorships and whatever else it takes to race. "It's tough being a low-budget team like ours," Palmer says, "because sometimes it's right down to the last minute before we have the money to go." (page 68)

Technically Speaking with David Reher – The arrival of Top Sportsman and other fast eliminators provides opportunities for weekend racers to experience speeds that once seemed unimaginable for production-bodied race cars. Time for a lesson in aerodynamics. (page 162)
