Begun 1979, during the revival years, and
still in existence today! Published regularly for more years than any other
slot car magazine. Covers all scales from pro 1/24 wing cars to HO, and occasional vintage slots.
Mostly b&w photos, although more and more color has been
added over the years.
The information below comes from my own collection, seeing issues
sold at auction sites, listings of back issues, and
information contributed by
readers. Thanks!
