Drag Racing Edge
Our website (http://www.dragracingedge.com) went live this past Monday and our first printed issue has been delivered to the printer. The bi-monthly magazine will follow the same format as the dearly departed Drag Racing Action with the same content from the same people. Please follow us on Facebook (facebook.com/dragracingedge) and Twitter (@dragracingedge). We're looking forward to getting back to the "Action."

Re: Drag Racing Edge
Working on the subscription package right now. We started planning this whole thing back in December at the PRI Show and the amount of work we've done in about a month or so has been nothing short of a miracle. Then throw in the holidays in that mess and we've almost worked 24/7 to get to where we are today. I'm excited about it and can't wait to see the first issue printed in my hands. Keep an eye on our website - www.dragracingedge.com - for the subscription news.

That being said, what can I do now to make it up to you? If you'd like you can contact me at johnd@dragracingedge.com. Regardless of what the publishing company does, I would like to make it right "if I can." If I can't, I'm sorry but it's not because I didn't try. -John D.

Re: Drag Racing Edge
John - let me ask a couple of questions. If the previous magazine failed why would you continue to use the same format? To be honest (and partly because I am starved for decent tech info) I purchased your previous effort on many occasions but the magazine became so bland that over the last year or so I simply flipped through it on the news-stand and walked away. I do understand that "today's reader" apparently wants information in small news bites and is simply not interested in reading lengthy articles. Most of the "hot rod" style publications available today have already catered to these individuals. Interestingly, it seems that a lot of articles are nothing more that thinly disguised advertisements for a particular product - to me that was part of what I found less than interesting in your previous magazine. Have we really lost writers or hot rodders that can carry on a substantive flow of information to the reader without resorting to these tricks? I suppose in my defense I should say that I was spoiled early on by guys like Rick Voegelin and Steve Collison. The list of how-to's that I learned from that group of writers continues to help me on the builds that I do today. That's the type of information that I look for in a car book and that I believe is beneficial to your audience.
I do wish you the very best success with your new venture and I look forward to reading it. Charles Rutherford Quote:
