The Car of Tomorrow is coming! Love it or hate it, it will be here soon. The first race is in Bristol and everyone is wondering what will happen. The April 2007 issue has a cover story on the COT detailing all the inner and outer workings of this controversial machine. It has a wing(how blingy), bigger driver compartment for safety, a standard body shape(nothings Ford, GM, Mopar or Toyota, not that there was before!) and computer chips on the frame for easier tech inspection. As long as the racing is good, no one is going to care what the car is.
There is a nice piece on the late, great Benny Parsons. I’m pretty sure he was the nicest guy in Nascar. He was also one of the best announcers in the sport or any sport for that matter. He didn’t need any catch phrases(are you listening DW?) to make him interesting. He spoke from the heart and knew of what he spoke. He will be missed.
There are some nice tech articles on the latest in firesuits, cordless impact guns, threadlock and freshening your fuel systems. All are written in a nice easy to read format. Also there are a couple of stories on small tracks and also the best columnist in stock car racing, Joyce Standridge. I’ve been reading her work for years and it’s always great.
