On The Cover:
The rainbow of kit cars on the cover were lensed on the West Coast and in the MidWest. The striking BMW M3 Steel Blue Velo Rossa was photographed by Bob Eckhardt at the '02 AHA Fun in the Sun at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. The Lemon Yellow Ice Cobra replica from Premier Motor Sports was captured on film by Harold Pace at last year's Run And Gun in Madison, Illinois, as was Darrel Arment's photo of the dashing Romanesque Crimson and Silver Dragon Motors Dragon.
