FALL 2011 ~ ISSUE 118!


CHANGE was in the air as I put together this issue. To speed up delivery of the magazines to Midwest and Eastern members, I moved the printing/mailing of the magazine from Arizona to Illinois. At the same time, I made the magazine dimensionally larger and went to a higher grade of paper.

Then, there was this great photo David Miller shot of Ron Normann's pickup at the Nats. The horizontal photo didn't work for my typical vertical front cover, but it worked surprisingly well for both covers. Looking at the front cover alone, you might have thought it was a coupe. Open to both covers and...a little bit of a surprise.

Since I was changing the covers, I decided to put the Contents section on the back cover as well. Hard to stop change when it gets rolling. LOL

None of this would be possible without your articles and photos. A VERY special thanks goes out to our photographers: Bob Wenzelburger, David Miller, Charles Whetstone and Ron Updike.
I'll see you at the races! Ernest
