It was mentioned in another post that one of the members happened to be going through old editions of ND and came across an example from the past of the subject matter being discussed at the time. It was nice to know that others out there keep holding on to some of the past like I do, and I'm curious- who else has got a collection of old weeklys, magazines, etc. that take up space in the house for no good reason other than its nice to have them.
I currently have about ten years of ND back to '95, and before I moved west (Tucson is a great environment to store old periodicals) I had been saving Drag News from the early '70s to when the weekly paper stopped printing. Sadly, my younger brother, not knowing the personal value and needing the space in his basement, disposed of them during a recycling pickup (I can only hope the recycling plant had a drag racing fan on staff that day...).
I do have a decent collection of the monthlys at the time- Car Craft, PHR, SS&DI, etc.- from '70 on to about mid '90s, and I finally for a great shelving to display some of the older magazines. Combine that with a great collection of unbuilt model cars (mostly drags) and a VHS collection of Diamond P broadcasts, and you can tell it's the house of a drag racing fanatic...
So, who else is a few boxes short of being an episode of Hoarders on the history of drag racing?
