Anyone get the "New" National Dragster?

Lew Silverman · 02-02-2012, 03:50 PM

Just wondered if anyone had gotten their new National Dragster this week? It's gotten a lot smaller, only 8 X 10.5 inches. I also noticed that there is a new electronic version available, but if you want it, it'll cost another $69 @ year.

Lew it is a sign of the current times, pay more and get less.

Just got mine. It's smaller because it's the fan guide that we usually get WITH an issue, not instead of! In other words, this weeks issue is the fan guide.

The Fan Guide is handy if you are going to a national event where you have not been previously because it gives you details on how to get there.

Hardly ever read it anymore, it always gets here way late, and most stories have already been published on line. 'EXCEPT for sportsman coverage, such as it is.

Get that wagon together!

I hope you all enjoy it, because for just a dollar more, I was able to renew my IHRA membership (with their Drag Review Magazine), and renew my competition number for both Stock Eliminator, and the No Box bracket class. Only if I start rolling into more dough, will I even consider coming back there this year...NHRA priced me out! I'll however, be here rooting for you guys/gals that can better afford to patronize them...I still love drag racing after all....

Larry, His point is that the fan guide used to be a seperate book every year. Now it is included inside the dragster. I noticed that this morning myself!

At least they didn't charge extra for it (roll eyes) LOL!

Phil Burgess' column did say there will be increased sportsman coverage. That will be great......We'll see.
