Open Wheel Magazine 1990's

Was looking around in my garage today and found 8 issues of open wheel magazine from late 91 to early 92 and a 94 jr johnson special of circle track. It is crazy looking back to these days. Which then I was just 6 years old. Being younger seeing these and bringing back memories was good. But I was wondering if there are people that collect these things to keep looking at them through time. I have sat around most the night reading through them. But was just seeing if there was interest in them. I would let someone else read back in these and enjoy them.
Thanks guys.. |

I enjoy reading my "Back Issues" not just Open Wheel but many others, I have some as old as 1968.
What I like most is the articles that used to show you how to build things or improve power output. Not like today's magazines where as I used to buy them for .50 cents & minimum wage was about $3. Now magazines are $5.99 & minimum wage is around $7 an hour. Plus it's buy this buy that where we used to go to the junkyard & scavenge for what we wanted. I still do. |

Well thats good news.. Thanks guys. I think I will just keep them on my coffee table and read them here and there. Just from these issues to now it is funny looking at the suits, the non-down tube cars, the hair do's, the setups, and so on. I have enjoyed them and think I will just keep them to enjoy. If anyone has missed out on early 90's sprint cars let me know. I will share these with you.. They are informative but def put a smile on your face..

I have most of them. The articles were always first rate. Last year I took a few of them out and read them. One article about Cliff Griffith was very interesting. Up until then Cliff Griffith was just a name on old box scores.
In the early 1990s Peterson Publications bought the magazine. Open Wheel started going downhill after that and then it was gone. |

I have about 95percent of the issues. I swap out 10 to 15 issues every 3 months or so in a certain room where a shower, sink and toilet are located. Always take time to read them when........ well............. you get the picture.
