Cover of the Witness

Was the picture on the front cover of The Witness coincidental or intentional?
It looks like it isn't the same person or the same car but a nice tribute nevertheless.

I was thinking the same thing Chris: Coincidental or Tribute, good either way!

As a matter of fact, that was the discussion at our dinner table last night as the Witness showed up in the mail. We had already discussed the tragic event with my wife and kids earlier in the week and they were still interested in what happen when they saw the CGT on the front cover.

This type of event is never easy to discuss with or without family, but having a discussion is always valuable. The Ray’s prayers still go out to the two deceased, their family and friends during this time of mourning. God Bless.

I got mine in the mail yesterday. I thought it was very coincidental. I am hoping there will be some sort of article in July's that will honor him. :(

Hey, just outta curiousity, is it possible to arrange a moment of silence for Ben at the June 25 A-X???

The Witness cover is usually, if not always, explained just inside the front of the mag. It says the CGT pic was shot at the Cal Fest of Speed, which took place in March.

The Witness covers are done 2 (soon to be 3) months at a time and the June cover was produced in April. I also felt it was a spooky coincidence, but hoped it would be taken in a positive light.
