PREDICTIONS 2005
Tony Schumacher thinks the quickest cars in drag racing will produce mid- to low 4.40s; Doug Kalitta's going out on a limb to predict e.t.'s below 4.40; after that it really gets interesting. And undaunted by their less-than-scintillating record in 2004, the ND staff has a few predictions of their own. (page 18)

  • National DRAGSTER Interview: Larry Dixon – With a troubled 2004 behind him, two-time NHRA POWERade Top Fuel champ Larry Dixon is quietly ready to make some noise in 2005. By Phil Burgess. (page 16)
  • New Feature: Out of the Groove – We drag racers are an entertaining lot, but some of the most interesting news doesn't quite fit into the race coverage. Enter "Out of the Groove," ND's grab bag of bits and bites about the people and places that color our sport. By the ND staff. (page 12)
  • Race-car Tech: Scratch-built vs. Old School – Chances are your weekend warrior progressed from street car to part-time race car and finally to strictly on-track duty. But now, more and more drag racers are choosing to build their Sportsman race cars from scratch. Is one way better than the other? Evan J. Smith helps you weigh your options. (page 42)
