My fan guide came by itself this year.

Re: National Dragster
 

I got my first issue and fan guide but I twice now I have gotten emails that say I can view the current issue online. When I log in all I can see is the fan guide. Anyone else having issues viewing online?

No, I have viewed the first issue, the fan guide, and, today, I viewed the third issue with Brittany Force on the cover.

Re: National Dragster
 

I got my e-mail today and all I could get was the fan guide. I tried back about an hour later and was able to read the current issue.

By the way, there is a big picture of Larry Hill's car in the first couple pages. Nice shot!

Re: National Dragster
 

It was really slow and I had to click a ton of things to few it.

However, I did finally get it to load and was able to view it.

Re: National Dragster
 

ya Larry and Patsy Hill does a great job reporting on here make us feel like where there with them !

Re: National Dragster
 

NHRA doesn't listen because Sportsman racers aren't really part of the sport anymore. Their version of drag racing is all about the Circus/State Fair/Music Festival atmosphere and the revenue that consumers wandering around looking at shiny stuff can generate. The new ND is simply a reflection of that mentality. As somebody said, it's just another version of a National Event program. Everything they produce is a marketing piece. I haven't actually read a Dragster in years; because there's nothing in them. I subscribe because I have to, to race.

I'm SUPER PISSED about not having the Championship posters anymore. The first time since '94 a Mopar won Prostock and I can't get a poster!!!!!! They aren't even available through the NHRA stores.

-NO printed rule book.(Have to pay for one now).
-NO Campionship poster
-LESS actual National Dragster isssue ( with LESS actual sportsman coverage).

They can keep the stupid Fan guide. Who really cares about it any way?
And the kicker is...You HAVE to be a member to get a license!

Re: National Dragster
 

This whole thing has angered me, I have been a faithfull, repeat faithfull, subscriber since 1969, now we get half the issues, no pin, patch, sticker and so on.

Oh, I forgot, I have yet to recieve the first issue as of 2/3-13.

Back in the day, a event was done on Sunday and a few days later (Friday or Saturday) I got an issue. Now it's a couple of weeks after a event, lousy service since they print up in cheeseland.

With what I have been reading here and other sites, sounds like ND is no longer a real racing paper but a marketing propaganda piece.

Also since SS & Stk are my favorite classes, I can already get annoyed that the coverage will be weak.

Oh how I miss Drag News!
