Problem is that most large collections weigh a LOT and most want the owner to deliver them to a charity or what ever place you decide on. To sort thru them to find and catalog them would take more time than they are worth. The part about most younger guys being more interested in "Recycled Tooth Paste Tube" cars with fart can mufflers is correct. Its a sign of the times and a reminder that we are getting older.

Had a nice conversation recently with Darwin Doll ( former D1 Director ) who now runs the York Nostalgia event yearly and is connected with the Eastern Museum of Racing in York Springs , PA and they would be glad to have my Dragster collection and any other memorabilia that I or other racers might have to put on display .They have now been moved to the top of my list -- any other thoughts ? BTW , if I send them there I'll have to separate them into at least years - a big job in itself -- volunteers ? ? ?

wish i lived closer to you, i would separate them, cause i would of loved to get some info out of the 70 and newer papers.
Doll's deal is a good deal for sure.

Jack,,, I know what you're going through,,my wife sings the same song from time to time.Luckily for me, I came up with a filing system back in 65' as a 12 year old spending my allowance on car mags. Fast forward to 2010, and I've got thousands up in the attic, many different titles, but can find a particular issue if needed. I don't know what you're going to do, but if you decide to separate the Super Stock and Drag Illustrated magazines let me know as I only need 4 issues to have the complete collection. Thanks to swap meets and E-Bay I've filled a lot of holes.
The ones I need are: July 68',,, Oct 69',,, Jan 74' and Aug 83'.
Thanks for any help,, and good luck whichever direction you take.
