Thanks for mentioning it Larry.

Chris was in Phoenix for the NHRA Test Sessions the week prior to the Winternats shooting photos and writing a blog for Hot Rod Magazine on the 3 days of activities there. He happened to be in the right place at the right time to get this shot. More photos at the links below ..
