Re: Missing Stock&Super Stock Magazine.
The current Drag Racing Action magazine is the closest I've seen to these magazines you've mentioned. You can tell its edited by a real sportsman racer. Ive subscribed since its inception and plan to continue that as long as it stays mostly a sportsman mag.

Re: Missing Stock&Super Stock Magazine.
Bret, your articles (Mr. dirt) were my favorite. your articles got me racing rental cars when i had to. won in FL. at Orlando in an enterprise rental, last day of our vacation, it was a 2000 sebring convertible, cost us $200. for the week. won $300. got invited up to the tower for food and bench racing after. guys didn't believe it was a rental. i do miss that mag.

Re: Missing Stock&Super Stock Magazine.
SS&DI was the best drag racing magazine ever. Mr. Dirt, Match Race Madness, the in depth technical articles, etc. made it a must read. I am fortunate to have every issue that was published. I fondly remember buying issue #1, with the Ronnie Sox A/FX 1964 Comet on the cover. I knew immediately that I had to get this magazine every month. They don't make them like that anymore.

Re: Missing Stock&Super Stock Magazine.
I very seldom buy drag racing action. I could maybe read about 1/4 of it. National dragster is the same way. DRA is nothing like SS&DI. I still read SS&DI every once in a while. Pros and delay boxes really don't do it for me.

Re: Missing Stock&Super Stock Magazine.
Steve was the best, had him come out to Hydramatic Engineering, and did a Tech article on the THM 400. Miss that magazine !

Re: Missing Stock&Super Stock Magazine.
People like Ed Sarkisian & Bill Lorenzo kept New Engand Racers in the spotlight with Ed writng in depth stories and Bill's photos which had a way with words via his lens.
They kept the "home grown" locals in the spotlight! Occasionally see "Wild" Bill, however Mr. Ed passed away a few years ago. SS & DI, One of the BEST race publications ever! |
