all the talk on how to save class racing....
 

got me to thinking (scarey all in itself), when's the last time you seen a drag racing magazine on the magazine rack at your grocery store/borders/barnes& noble/etc?
i haven't seen a mag in a helluva long time, is there even any out?

Bought one yesterday. Barnes & Noble has one every month. Drag Racer Magazine. Drag Racing Action is also available, but I subscribe.

Makes you wish Super Stock & Drag Illustrated was still around.

Doug, the new Drag Illustrated is back. It covers all of the associations so far. Mostly T/F and FC, P/M, P/S, T/D, T/S, some comp stuff, SS and Stock as well but not as much as we would like... It sounds like they will be doing more Sportsman stories and advertising.
The articles I have read were really interesting and informative. There is an article in the latest issue (#39 with Sheikh Khalid on the cover) about Larry Morgan you need to read.

Thanks Barry, hopefully this mag won't be like my Dragsters that the mailman seems to read for a couple weeks before I get them lol.

Drag racing action didn't start out bad with a lot of sportsman stuff. Now its all about the pros. If I wanted to know what Larry Dixon eats for breakfast I would go to nhra web site. I miss SSDI.

SS&DI was the best drag racing magazine ever. I am fortunate to have every issue that was published, and I still spend quite a bit of time rereading them.

I'm an outsider here...but I currently race with the NMCA in Mean Street. (well I guess let's say "try" to race:) )
Why couldn't you take a heads up class with similar rules and integrate it into Stock Eliminator? One thing I think it may have going for it is more sponsorship appeal, since there's alot of aftermarket stuff on these cars. The NMCA prostock class might integrate well as a Super Stock class too.

Too much tech (and expense)

NHRA doesn't have the budget for it. They even had to re-neg on Gold Cards this year.

Re: all the talk on how to save class racing....
 

Is that anymore tech than the current classes? Or is reducing tech the NHRA's goal?
