We don't? Wes Buck begs to differ. This year is DI's 20th anniversary.

I'm talking about the great drag rags of the 1960s, 70s, 80s into the early 90s before the internet. Buy the time
DI and ND get to your mailbox it's outdated (plus you can look at it 2 or 3 weeks before on the computer)
Been getting ND since January 1972. Been getting DI, off and on for 20 years. Remember when it was free years
ago.

Living in the past and I like it.

Reflections of my life

AA/FC No ID If I remember, I cut this photo out of a magazine it was a ad for Fenton Custom and Mag Wheels. The team of Hill & Vance? just
guessing and who is in the seat, your guess is as good as mine. But for sure it's a fantastic photo with the clouds and sunset and for sure it's OCIR
