Mooneyzs Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I happened to see this magazine at the grocery store early this week and picked it up. Pretty sweet magazine.
High octane Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I saw that mag last Friday while grocery shopping and of course I did buy it.
FASTBACK340 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I saw it advertised in the latest Car Craft and was looking forward to getting it. Is this going to be a bi-monthly like Hot Rod Deluxe?

Dragracer Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Think I'll have to get one of them tar issues!
1320wayne Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Picked this up today and it is full of great photos and stories. The vintage photos are great for research material and discovering little unknown details. Like, I thought it was interesting that Prudhomme and Mcewen had a 71 340 Cuda and 72 Roadrunner, respectively, as tow vehicles at Pomona in 72. Must have been because they were in So. California and close to home.
1320wayne Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 some pretty cool pics and i really like the article with Jon Kaase on Dyno Don. had to laugh to myself with the comment about the S&M Superbird being in A/MP when the pic clearly shows it lettered C/MP vintage funny car fans should love this magazine Yeah, I picked up on a few small errors made in the little picture comments. I also like the fact that the picture of the staging lanes with the S and M Superbird pretty much puts to rest any statements that I have ever heard regarding whether or not that car saw any real track time or was simply for PR purposes.
gasser59 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Thanks for the info Greg. Just went and picked one up. I'll be looking it over tomorrow.
Craig Irwin Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Thanks for the heads up, but I haven't found it yet. Looks like a great mag.
FASTBACK340 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Hate to be the one, but I think Hot Rod Deluxe is much better at what it does as opposed to what I saw in that issue. For a first shot it was so-so in my opinion.... <sorry!>
b_lever1 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 super mag got mine 3 days ago have not slept yet
Greg Myers Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) some pretty cool pics and i really like the article with Jon Kaase on Dyno Don. had to laugh to myself with the comment about the S&M Superbird being in A/MP when the pic clearly shows it lettered C/MP vintage funny car fans should love this magazine So what does that tell you? I pick up little missteps in magazine often and wonder, am I the only one sees a Carter AFB on top of that engine , that ain't no Holley carb? But there they are, the magazine experts telling us all about what obviously in the picture right in front of both of us plainly says otherwise. Edited August 31, 2011 by Greg Myers

Let's give 'em a chance.
