Re: Mopar mags

[Merwin Wrisley <vulcan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I agree with Jim, it's a numbers game---our numbers get smaller all the 
time, due to the
cars that are restored and not driven, the ones left are fewer due to 
accidents, race only,
etc. If the magazines don't sell a certain amount of issues, they are 
dropped or bought up
by the bigger companies. Super Stock and Drag Illustrated comes to mind, it 
died mostly
because it covered only the drag racing aspect , just too narrow a niche 
magazine. Too bad, because in my opinion, it was one of the best rags 
around.........Merwin
