I agree. Don't forget, we were lucky enough to have guys like Rick Voegelin (Project X) and Steve Collison (IHRA record holder in 396/375 Chevelle) writing back in the day. They would fit the "not all" segment. Steve was my last editor before he passed away and I think of him a lot. I can't think of anyone more dedicated to class racing than he was.

But to illustrate your point, we also had the editors whose favorite thing was to get kicked out of a press day by abusing the cars and doing donuts.

Edit - can't believe I left out John Dianna before he joined the suits in the boardroom.
