Looks like a real piece of British hot rodding ingenuety of the type that mostly disapeared when the "right" parts and cars became more widely available.
I've seen "Drag Racing & Hot Rod" magazine mentioned a few times in these history threads but never seen an actual copy. How long was it around for?
I would imagine copies are quite rare and thus expensive these days but are they worth seeking out?
OK, a brief history lesson....
This magazine started life as "Drag Racing" & was published by Alan Burgess, a Karting enthusiast who also published "Karting"! It ran from March 1965 to March 1966 at which time it was bought by John Bennett & renamed "Drag Racing & Hot Rod Magazine" & became the "club" magazine of the BHRA (hence the addition of Hot Rod). This ran from April 1966 to Dec 1969, I became Photographic Editor in 1967.
British Drag Racing magazine ran from Jan 1965 to October 1965 & was the BDRA magazine. Prior to all these was "Kool Kams" which was the first BHRA newsletter & was briefly resurrected By Peter Bartlett in 1970.
I have 1-1/2 complete editions of DR & HRM & several duplicates (for swapsies for ones I haven't got!), most of Drag Racing & a few Kool Kams & British Drag Racing magazines.
