I read it cover to cover in about 6 trips to the library. Hate reading an Ipad.

Gotta go back on their site and check again.

John, I was also waiting for issue 48 so I called NHRA membership services. I was informed that only 47 issues are published because they combined 2 issues into 1 at some point during the season (I do remember something about that, but I can't remember the specific issue). When you join, or renew, you will get 47 issues of ND instead of the 48 that were published before.

I just received my NHRA renewal notice, and while the old renewal forms always said "48 issues of National Dragster", now it just says "National Dragster, now in your choice of Print,Digital, or Both for your computer and mobile device", but no longer mentions the number of issues provided.
Also, as a Canadian, since our CDN dollar has been pretty much at par for the past several years, I would sure like to know why we still have to pay $36.00 a year extra to be a member. ($105 US dollars compared to $69.00 USD.)

Int'l postage maybe?

I agree with this statement. Thats why on my renewal I canned the ND printed version. A savings of money. Rarely read it anyways.

I most definitely like the magazine style best as I can hang it on a piece of wire in the chitter. Just reach up and rip a page out and leave it hanging for the next trip. Every week will give you enough to go thru a week. Dont know if it will last 2 weeks.
All kiddin aside, I have seen many magazines in our industry go to "under" and be gone for ever. Any thing that still keeps us aware of our racing needs to be kept alive by what ever means possible. Just remember, we are in a sport that is no longer the hottest item on the planet. It is a diminishing "need". We will continue to loose followers as we die out "sorry for using the word, but it is true". So what makes us think that our reading is not going to follow our suit.
Now this doesnt mean that they are doing it justice. Many and most of these people are in it to make money and may no longer do it justice but it still is better than the alternative of nothing. So lets keep trying to get these people to do a better job of keeping us aware but lets dont push it off the cliff.
