It's a newsstand-only publication -- I've seen them in a Walmart in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and at the Baltimore airport. People also tell me they've found Elapsed Times at Barnes & Noble and similar stores. So it's kind of a random distribution, probably depends on the size of the newsstand, the shelf space, and whether the distributor is a vintage drag racing fan <g>.

Hot Rod Deluxe started as a one-shot, but it generated enough support to become a bimonthly. Perhaps Elapsed Times will follow the same pattern . . .

Cheers,
Rick V.

Rick, what the heck were you doing Sheboygan. BTW, you were my hero back in the Camaro Craft days. I learned alot from your writing. Thanks.

Eight-page article titled "The Super Stocks in Pro Stock's Family Tree" by some has-been editor. Unfortunately they edited out the really juicy stuff . . .

Future issues will depend on newsstand sales and advertising support.

Cheers,

Rick - It's nice to see you on this board. You were one of the great role models that inspired me to write for SS&DI.

I think the "drag car writers hall of fame" is in Sheboygan where Rick was recently inducted:D

Egads! A voice from the long ago!

I can't tell you how good it is that your writing will be available again. I hope to see a whole bunch more.

I've got my fingers crossed for a future issue of Elapsed Times including a reissue of the best ever drag racing article, White Line Fever from Car Craft many years ago. Granted it revolved around Modified Eliminator but DARN, it was good!

I don't know about that, but Sheboygan is pretty close to Road America at Elkhart Lake. I can only hope he doesn't start saying "motorcar" and writing about road racing. He will always be a drag racer to me.

Even though I`m a Ford guy, I always thought that the Voegelin, Mayerson, and McGonnegal era at Car Craft was the best for the tech features and overall reading enjoyment. So many great Stock, S/S and M/P features.
