National Dragster publication changes??

Who reads ND anymore? Only half of them are any good any way. If it was not for the Emmon's or Fletcher's Articals I would not even open the ND. I really don't care what John forces and his girls are doing every week.

^^^^This^^^^

With Dragracecentral, I rarely open National dragster. I was depressed when they went away from "newpaper" style, to "magazine". I couldn't use it for painting anymore.

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

I just signed up last week and thought it said 40 something issues.
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.
