As a former Speed Sport vendor this is truly very sad. Selling the Speed Sport enabled me to make my first visit to the Knoxville Nationals by signing on as a vendor for them in 1991. That week started countless races I would go to selling Speed Sport. I had always gone to the races but selling Speed Sport was some of the best times I ever had. I am amazed at how many people befriended me at the races and still remain good friends to this day from car owners, drivers, mechanics, track promoters, officials, track workers, push truck drivers, and fans from all over the country....all because I was selling Speed Sport. Chris and Corinne treated me like gold and went out of their way to help me. Best of Luck to the both of them!

Wow, I gotta say I'm shocked to learn this....
I've also been a subscriber since 1977, and like Ronmil, I still have all of mine too I was one of those people at Terre Haute years ago that admired Cowboys' incredible "super hat" as he was hawking the latest NSSN :2:

I wouldn't count on it Duke. I guess you can take it as you can still read it on line as your subscription payment. I can never recall any newspaper, magazine, etc. that went out of business ever refund subscription payment no matter how long the subscription is for. I never subscribe more than a year because of this reason.

This is like losing an old friend. I've been a subscriber for about 40 years and always looked forward to reading "the Bible". Thank you to Chris, Corinne, and all the staff of NSSN for their efforts in producing the paper and for their professionalism throughout. RIP old friend, you will truly be missed.

Yes, it is sad, but, there is life after NSSN, I gave up about 10 years ago, thought it was all over, but, I'm still kickin, and headed for 74, kinda down hill, but still able to get the info I need, and, it gives me more time to think about other things I need to do. Missed it 10 yrs ago tho. Bob
