Re: National Dragster
It’s primary purpose is to showcase existing Sponsors and serve as a tool to attract new Sponsor $$. That thick paper and color coverage of the Pros is impressive when it’s tossed in front of the client in meetings.
We’re lucky Drag Race Central is hanging in there. |

Re: National Dragster
Some of you might recall that about a year ago, NHRA said they were going to reformat Natl Dragster to put more focus on sportsman racing, wonder how that went?

Re: National Dragster
From what I have seen, they cut their staff to a minimum that used to do the writeups.....
They focus on promoting the Pro's and their sponsors and the advertising dollars. $$ and revenue is what it's about.... They do some good articles and features but few and far between The old paper days were huge with 2 pages for every sportsman winner at National events and many special articles and features Even when I wasn't racing, one big highlight of every week was receiving the latest paper and reading it from front to back..... Ancient history now.... The latest ND arrived days ago or longer and I haven't even bothered to look at it yet.

Re: National Dragster
Unless I missed it, there was absolutely no mention or photos of last year's division champions.
In the past, each division was given a page, with all of its champion cars pictured.

Re: National Dragster
Years ago we got 48 issues a year. Then they cut that down to 24 a year. Now we get 12 a year and they can't even deliver them in the correct month!! I realize the price of everything has gone up but the coverage sucks compared to what it was. Maybe I'm being anal but there is a lot of errors in the coverage that we do get.
