oh my god, there's a TON of pics...

The first pic in the article is an awesome shot of John Rafteseth launching that red rocket of his. There's some pics from the car show and the judging, another with the DeBlasio's KK doing wicked burnout at Island, and an ass-shot of the entire POSSI push drags team.

There's a couple of pages of shots from Island Dragway. Jeff Diener, Joel Banyai, Stumpy Jenkins, the Heavy Eliminator, and Snowflake all got some ink. There's a shot of Chris Nickell's car in the pits at the autocross and another of Jose Hernandez's in action...I can almost hear the trance music blasting on his stereo. There's a couple of action shots from Pocono...but unfortunately I'm not sure who's cars they are.

It's a great artice and great coverage for ISSCA and for the Impala Community as a whole. Thanks GM High Tech!! I'm glad I renewed!
