Off Subject: National Dragster

Used to stop everything to read cover to cover and even saved them....old ones are better reading material even today. I just throw them on a pile; I looked and I haven't read any since November.....if it ain't got Reher column back page...in the can it goes

I know it exists to support NHRA, but the lengths it goes to "spin" is nauseating...to paraphrase Mike Singletary: "can't read it, can't stand it....just can't do it"

Maybe to help NHRA's bottom line, they could offer a "delete" option with needed membership card to race

Here is something positive to do with the National Dragster magazine. Send them to one of our troops over seas. I send them 4 at time with the monthly Hot Rod magazine to my deployed son.

Trust me, they like 'em! Throw in some fishing magazines to, and you will be a hero!

Wheres your son at? My son will be leaving for Camp Letherneck March 13 with 2MEF out of Lejune. Been a bit of a tuff day today as he just left this AM from his block leave. He has to go for a min of 14 months this time. He will be getting dragsters as they come in. Guys the car guys over there love them even if they are a month or two late getting there. For you guys interested there is almost always a church looking for stuff to send please dont throw them away there are guys over there who would love to have them and any other mags you dont need.

There is a local ministry here who collects things for the troops in Afghanistan. I save my Dragsters and they love them. Don't throw them away!!

That's the best idea I've seen on this forum..... Sending them to our troups.... WOW... Wish I had thought of that... I've just been putting them in the re-cycle bin.... Now I'm sad about that... But will send them all from now on.... Thanks for sharing the idea......

I stopped my subscription of National Dragster at least 10 years ago, like a friend of mine says, Its just bird cage liner. You can get more information on websites and from other racers. Half the time, I didnt recieve it, or when it finally showed up it would be two weeks later or shredded.

I have only recieved two this year.

You can not send them to "Any Soldier" as before. I suggest getting a troop's name from a relative or friend and send them to that troop.

As for my son, he is a veteran of the Iraq war and was deployed to Afghanistan in May of 2010. He, unfortunately, was medivaced to the States in November, a result of a mini stroke. He is presently under medical evaulation and is not sure if he will be allowed to stay in the military or not. Physicaly, with medication, he is feeling fine. Being in really good physical condition probably saved his life.
