New Drag Racing magazine out there !!!!

Nitro Joe Jackson · 09-10-2011, 06:32 PM

folks, everybody that loves nostalgia stuff as much as me needs to get this book, I just wish there was a drag racing magazine that didnt cover the pro's and covered sportsmen cause 90% out there that do race or hardcore spectators like me could give a rats *** about the new wave pro's.

Yeah I also wish this site had a Vintage Drags section so everone could post all of their old photos and race topics in so they wouldn't get deleted or get accused of pushing down other peoples newer threads...I also bet there is someone out there that would even sponsor that Vintage Drag section with all of the nostalgia stuff being sold out there...so what do you all think about that idea.

You need to go over to Colesy's Jr. Stock Site. It covers A/FX thru C/FX, Jr stockers, stockers up to around 1986, Modified production, old rules, different racers like Cal Method, Sox, Tony Janes, Wally Booth, Jenkins, etc. Some that I never heard of even, Great photos and stories. http://www.colesy-juniorstockforum.com/forum/index.php

Yea, I saw that the other day while grocery shopping. Old Dodge performance car ads, Dyno Don and nostalgia funny cars were some of the articles.

Nothing on old Ss or stockers ?

I am hoping this new magazine - Elapsed Times - becomes a regular thing. With all the interest in Nostalgia Drag Racing this will surely be a big hit with us older folks. Most of my friends either already have a copy or are getting one very soon. It is long overdue, since the NHRA circus doesn't do it for us older guys anymore. I still get excited seeing front motored dragsters. Just got home from the Arlington Dragstrip Reunion and all I can say is WOW and "more nitro fumes please." Ron - recovering in Fife, Wa.

TK,

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,

I'm sure most of you are aware of the H.A.M.B message board's thread on junior stock by now. If not it's only about a thousand pages! Be sure and grab a sami' and a cold drink before checking it out. It will be a LONG night.

Rick,
It's better to be a has been , than a never was !

WE will never forget all your great writing that covered our sport.

Picked it up last week, Joe. Its a good mag, providing a great look back. I'm hoping maybe it will become a quarterly issue as opposed to a monthly, as like most of us over 50 somethings, I've got every magazine I've ever bought and the rafters in my attic are starting to creak a little, so I don't need to start another monthly!LOL.
Take care,,Danny Durham
P.S. Long live Super Stock and Drag Illustrated magazine!
