Re: National Dragster collection
Jack,
If you haven't already done it, get yourself a paint respirator (the good kind that look like an old Top Fuel guy but in black), and wear it while sorting. I have lots of respiratory allergies as well as asthma, and my respirator does wonders when doing tasks like this. That's great that you are donating them. One of these days I plan to sort out my collection (only dating back to the early 80's). |

If you get a good brand (from a paint supply place, not from Harbor Freight) they are pretty comfortable and can be worn all day (but you'll have funny lines on your face). I actually wear mine doing yardwork, including mowing my 3/4-acre yard. I'm sure it looks goofy, but it beats the asthma attack! |
Re: National Dragster collection
Hope you thought of a "strategy" to avoid collecting future issues.......
They are much smaller now but we are getting older..... I also have to get stronger glasses to read the current print..... MB |
Re: National Dragster collection
If I had the money I've spent on car magazines since 1954, I could pay cash for one of those new 2008, supercharged, intercooled, 4-valve per cylinder Mustang "STOCKERS" that enjoys such a generous HP factor...
LOL!!! "Foresight..." I never was blessed with much of that. :( |

Re: National Dragster collection
I know you don't want to split them but I would love to have a few issues that feature events from our old track. We are having a Reunion later this year.

Re: National Dragster collection
This thread has really caught my interest.
I too have a similar dilema. My ND collection covers 1980-2007 and for years I have wondered if there was a respectable museum to donate them to. Mine are all boxed and organized tho. (48 issues per box) so moving them would be easy. I also would love to preserve them for future young gearheads, but with all of the new factory hot rods being built, I doubt many younger guys are interested in the old stuff. Too bad there is not a "National Automotive Publications" museum. (or library) |
