Jack,
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!

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.....

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.

Yeah, but you can't put a price on the enjoyment and education your received from them.

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.

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)

If any one has a collection of old National Dragsters from 1966-1970, I would like to find issues that featrured the Divison 3 race at Bluegrass on the following dates.
1966 July 24th
1967 July 23rd
1968 July 20-21
1969 July 26-27
1970 Sept. 19-20
The coverage of these event dates would have probably been within a month of the event. Anywhere from the very next issue to one month later.
I know IM asking for a lot but It would be really nice to locate these.

I too have a collection from 77-10. I have two young nephews that race but are not interested on the past which I can recall thats the way I was at there age. My suggestion is Ebay or similar to sell. Only the older issues sell as most people don't save things and some older people may want to look into there GLORY DAYS!l

I was doing some research for another board member here in the 1982 issues of ND.
Reading those issues sure does bring back memories !

I saw alot of ramp trucks for sale back then.
