Sounds impressive; but I will reserve judgement until I receive mine.

BI before internet. advertising has changed, google ads dominate, do you look to national dragster 1st to buy parts, probably not, internet 1st. live feed to watch all races last year. instant results with live timing. now many tracks have apps to check on time slips so you get all the numbers. remember always checking mailbox for ND to get results. anymore, not so much

End of an era.

Loved my weekly ND back in the late 70's as a high school student.
For a young gearhead starting out in KY it was an escape.

I had the other big 3 as well....Hot Rod, Car Craft and Popular Hot Rodding

Still have all those issues

Sure would be nice if they started showing the National Records again! Seems like the monthly format would make it easier for them to put the records in. Also, it was mice to see some young racers highlighted. Especially the up and comer Parker Devore!

Super Stock & Drag Illustrated was the best.

I agree.
I wished I had known about SS&DI back in the 80's.
I do have several issues dating back to the early 90's all the way to the last issue published
