While we all can appreciate the nice trucks you capture at the events I am sure there are more than enough examples at these shows that you do not have to give continuing coverage to trucks you have already featured within your covers.  

This comment comes after looking through my latest issue at the F-100 nat coverage. Of all the possible trucks at that event I noticed 2 trucks you choose to spotlight are ones which had previously been features. Now while they are good examples we have already seen them.  Then instead of capturing some other deserving (fresh) truck we are subjected to a pic of the F100 owner (K Johnson) holding aloft a trophy.  Whoopee! We are all glad for him.  Lets move on.

Then I get to the Del Mar coverage and see some more great trucks but wait a minute...did I not see that silver F100 in the coverage of the F100 nats?  Yes I did.  Then there was something familar about three other trucks you picture from the Del Mar event.  Yes, we have seen those on your pages previously also.  

Is finding new material that hard or is the writer getting tired of walking around and falling back on the tried & true?

I know this is Riz's first issue and these stories were in the pipeline before he took control so I can only hope this practice ends quickly.  I expect more but each month continues to disappoint in this regard.

Hate to say it, but I've gotta agree with Houston. It seems like the ole' SAMO SAMO. I guess all we can do is hope that the new Chief in charge realizes this also, and does something to change this.
