Lots of sportsman coverage in the latest National Dragster. And the records are back in there. Nice to see both back in the magazine.

Hope they are spending the money they think they are saving wisely.... perhaps building up a larger purse for us sportsman racers ,,,NOT . I would just be happy to get what I payed for ,I seem to only get about every other one , That s pretty slim reading considering we only get them every other week now . I,ve already had the conversation with my mail lady and she even said the publication was,nt worth reading ,,so I guess she,s of the suspect list........

While not a proponent of the new direction National Dragster seems to blindly be searching for, "The Reinhart Report" article in the most recent issue was great reading. Mr. Reinhart successfully reached beyond the Pro, celebrity status of Don Gartlits by revealing a warm person who simply enjoyed talking about racing and cars. Of course it helps to know that both the reporter and subjects' roots are firmly in sportsman racing.

This is part of the enhancement package. Since I turned the driving over to my son, I have no reason to buy it. Had it for 32 years at least, because I HAD TO if I was going to compete. I will only buy it if I return to the drivers seat. NHRA is out of control with entry fee's and lack of contingency dollars in return. That's the reason we race at only local events. 2 of my chassis certifications are expired and have been for at least 3 years.
